据世界石油6月29日消息,油服公司贝克休斯收购了一家旨在利用氢气和二氧化碳生产天然气的初创公司15%的股份,这是这家油田服务公司投资排放捕获技术的最新举措。
据一份声明称,总部位于休斯敦的贝克休斯正在投资 Electrochaea公司,这是一家德国公司,正在开发一种利用二氧化碳和使用可再生能源生产的氢气制造所谓合成天然气的工艺。财务条款尚未披露。二氧化碳的来源包括工业生产和有机物的分解。
这项投资是贝克休斯支持技术的最新举措,该技术旨在解决人们对温室气体排放的担忧。本月早些时候,贝克休斯宣布计划在挪威建立一个捕获和储存二氧化碳的中心。
贝克休斯涡轮机械和工艺解决方案执行副总裁Rod Christie在声明中表示,贝克休斯和Electrochaea技术“为道路运输和供暖等难以减少的行业提供了一种综合脱碳方法”。通过该项投资,贝克休斯将在Electrochaea董事会占有一席之地。

Baker Hughes takes a stake in synthetic natural gas startup
Baker Hughes is taking a 15% stake in a startup that aims to produce natural gas from hydrogen and carbon dioxide, the oilfield service company’s latest move to invest technology designed to capture emissions.
Houston-based Baker Hughes is investing in Electrochaea GmbH, a German company developing a process to make so-called synthetic natural gas from carbon dioxide and from hydrogen produced using renewable energy, according to a statement. Financial terms weren’t disclosed. The CO2 can be derived from sources including industrial plants and the breakdown of organic matter.
The investment is the latest example of an oilfield service provider backing technology intended to address concerns about greenhouse gas emissions. Earlier this month, Baker Hughes announced plans to develop a hub in Norway to capture and store CO2.
Baker Hughes and Electrochaea technology “provides an integrated method to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors such as road transportation and heating,” Rod Christie, executive vice president of turbomachinery and process solutions at Baker Hughes, said in the statement. With its investment, Baker Hughes will get a seat on Electrochaea’s board.
