Air Products, Baker Hughes Partner for Global Hydrogen Developments

With an aim to reduce production costs and promote hydrogen as a zero-carbon fuel, Air Products has entered into an agreement with Baker Hughes to develop next generation hydrogen compression. Under the terms of the contract, Baker Hughes will also supply Air Products with advanced hydrogen compression and gas turbine technology for its projects across the globe.

London/UK – Air Products and Baker Hughes have announced a strategic global collaboration to develop next generation hydrogen compression to lower the cost of production and accelerate the adoption of hydrogen as a zero-carbon fuel. As part of the collaboration, Baker Hughes will provide Air Products with advanced hydrogen compression and gas turbine technology for global projects, including NovaLT16 turbines for Air Products’ net-zero hydrogen energy complex in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and advanced compression technology for the Neom carbon-free hydrogen project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
