Meeting growing demand for cleaner, safer, and more efficient energy requires a diversified energy mix. Hydrogen (H₂) is uniquely positioned to support this shift, with key applications in power generation, mobility, heating, and decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors. However, scaling its impact remains essential to achieving global net-zero goals.
We address this by delivering advanced technologies today while investing across the hydrogen value chain for the future. Our portfolio spans production, transportation, and utilization—enabling scalable deployment and supporting a resilient, low-carbon energy system.
Baker Hughes have over 100 years of experience working with hydrogen. We built our first hydrogen reciprocating compressor in 1915.
For green hydrogen production, we are moving forward with Solid Oxide and AEM electrolyzers.
For turquoise hydrogen, we are jointly developing breakthrough pyrolysis technology to decarbonize natural gas.
Baker Hughes have the experience and complete portfolio in compression technology for different production sizes. As an established leader in compression technology, our High-Pressure Ratio Compressors (HPRC) provide significant improvements in overall green H2 plant footprint, reliability, availability, and weight.
In 2009, Baker Hughes built the first turbine in the world to run on 100% hydrogen for the Fusina Hydrogen Power Project in Italy.
Our technology is commercially available today for applications with various levels of blended fuel gas from 10% and up to 100%. It can be integrated and adapted to work with existing gas infrastructure.

Clean hydrogen plays a critical role in the energy transition and the development of a low-carbon economy because it addresses so called hard-to-abate sectors (such as fertilizers, refineries, shipping, steel, and sustainable aviation fuels) and provides flexibility to the energy system. Despite significant progress, much more needs to be done to scale hydrogen's impact on achieving net-zero emissions goals.
With over 100 years of experience working with hydrogen, Baker Hughes brings deep expertise to hydrogen production. For green hydrogen, we are accelerating the development of the second-generation electrolyzers including Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) and Solid Oxide Electrolyzers . For turquoise hydrogen, we are jointly developing breakthrough pyrolysis technology to decarbonize natural gas. These technologies enable the sustainable production of hydrogen with lower investment costs and reduced energy consumption.
Baker Hughes is a leader in advanced hydrogen compression solutions, with over 150 years of experience and more than 2,000 units deployed worldwide. We design and manufacture both reciprocating and centrifugal compressors, combining high reliability, low maintenance, and a reduced footprint.

In 2009, we built the world’s first turbine designed to run on 100% hydrogen- the NovaLT™16, for the Fusina Hydrogen Power Project in Italy. This remarkable machine can seamlessly switch between natural gas, hydrogen, and any blend of the two while ensuring low NOx emissions.
Today, more than 70 of our turbines operate on hydrogen-fueled gas turbines and are commercially available for applications ranging from hydrogen blends to 100% hydrogen fuel, enabling customers to transition at their own pace using existing infrastructure. In addition, Baker Hughes is advancing the Dry Low NOx (DLN) version of the NovaLT™16 for 100% hydrogen operation.

Our expertise spans the full hydrogen value chain, supported by a century of proven control and safety valve performance — optimized with advanced digital instrumentation and innovation. These capabilities help ensure the integrity, safety, and efficiency of hydrogen systems across all stages of operation.
We work closely with partners and customers to advance hydrogen deployment across the value chain. This includes jointly developing breakthrough pyrolysis technology for turquoise hydrogen production and supplying hydrogen-ready technology to Snam to support the decarbonization and resilience of the Italian gas network.
Our hydrogen journey includes landmark achievements that demonstrate our long-standing leadership. In 2009, we delivered the world's first turbine to run on 100% hydrogen for the Fusina Hydrogen Power Project in Italy. More recently, in 2024, we were selected to supply Snam with hydrogen-ready technology to support the decarbonization of the Italian gas network — one of several new hydrogen milestones we reached that year to accelerate the transition to a hydrogen economy.
We recognize that the energy transition requires a different energy mix — one that is cleaner, safer, and more efficient. While hydrogen has made significant progress as an energy carrier, much more needs to be done to scale its impact and achieve net-zero emissions goals. That is why we are committed to investing in new areas of the hydrogen value chain and bringing state-of-the-art technologies that deliver measurable value today, while advancing long-term energy solutions for tomorrow.
Hydrogen is a core component of how we help customers advance on the path to net-zero. Our technology portfolio spans the full hydrogen value chain — from production and compression to transportation and utilization — and sits alongside our broader energy transition capabilities, including Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage (CCUS), geothermal solutions, and emissions abatement.
