Baker Hughes and Novatek to develop H<sub>2</sub> blend LNG trains
Baker Hughes will retrofit LNG facilities, with the aim of reducing CO<sub>2</sub> emissions
Energy technology company Baker Hughes and Russia’s largest independent gas producer Novatek have formed a partnership to retrofit facilities to allow hydrogen blends in natural gas and LNG production. Baker Hughes’ compression and power generation technology solutions will be developed and implemented into Novatek’s LNG projects, with the aim of reducing emissions. The first step will be a pilot programme that introduces hydrogen blends into the main process for natural gas liquefaction to reduce CO2 emissions from LNG facilities, including Novatek’s Yamal LNG complex. “Hydrogen technologies have great prospects to reduce the level of global greenhouse gas emissions” Mikhelson, Novate
