Baker Hughes, a global energy technology leader, and Giammarco Technologies, licensor of the widely used Hot Potassium Carbonate (HPC) process, have announced an exclusive collaboration to advance and commercialize HPC solutions for post-combustion carbon capture across energy and industrial sectors.

 

Giammarco Technologies’ HPC process, already deployed in over 400 industrial projects, uses a safe, sustainable potassium-based solvent to efficiently capture CO₂ from gas streams. Under the partnership, the HPC process will integrate with Baker Hughes’ turbomachinery technology—including flue gas compression and expansion trains and mechanical vapor recompression systems—targeting cost-effective, large-scale post-combustion capture.

 

The collaboration will leverage multi-sector pilot plant testing and deliver fully integrated, customized solutions. Already engaged in feasibility studies and front-end engineering design (FEED), the companies aim to execute full-scale projects across multiple industries.

 

“We’re proud to collaborate with Giammarco Technologies. Together, our complementary capabilities will expand the use of HPC across hard-to-abate sectors and unlock new pathways for energy and industrial decarbonization at scale,” said Ahmed Eldemerdash, vice president of Climate Technology Solutions at Baker Hughes. 

 

“This collaboration underscores our commitment to advancing technologies that improve the economic viability of CO₂ projects and to being a trusted partner to reduce emissions worldwide.”

 

Giuseppe Giammarco, CEO of Giammarco Technologies, added: “We are proud to enter into a strategic collaboration with Baker Hughes, representing a major step forward in the global deployment of our HPC process and further strengthening Giammarco Technologies’ position as a technology leader in post-combustion carbon capture. 

 

"Our advanced process, combined with Baker Hughes’ global execution capabilities, enable the delivery of high-performance, cost-effective and fully integrated solutions for industrial and energy sector decarbonization.”
