Baker Hughes, HIF Global to collaborate on direct air capture technology

Baker Hughes announced Tuesday their agreement to cooperate on the development of technology to capture carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere. More specifically, HIF Global and Baker Hughes intend to test Baker Hughes’ Mosaic DAC technology pilot units to accelerate DAC deployment at commercial scale. "Collaboration is key to supporting and accelerating the energy transition to address climate change, and we are pleased to work alongside HIF to support their significant efforts in deploying eFuels at scale, leveraging our Mosaic DAC technology," said Lorenzo Simonelli, chairman and CEO of Baker Hughes. "This milestone agreement further illustrates the strength of Baker Hughes’ extended portfolio of Climate Technology Solutions, which includes a variety of CCUS technologies, and validates our strategy and commitment toward decarbonization." Acquired by Baker Hughes in April 2022 to enhance its carbon capture, utilization and storage portfolio, Mosaic Materials is focused on developing a proprietary direct air capture technology using Metal-Organic Framework materials that can be used to separate CO2 from the atmosphere.
