Turbomachinery technology advances to boost H<sub>2</sub> – Baker Hughes AM 2021
The next generation of hydrogen compressors will be lower-cost and more efficient, and will require less maintenance
The build-out of the hydrogen economy will be facilitated by advances in turbomachinery technology in tandem with the rollout of hydrogen strategies, according to Baker Hughes technology and engineering experts at the company’s annual meeting on Tuesday. “We see growth of hydrogen over the next few decades as the scale of clean hydrogen makes the production more cost competitive and [via] the adoption of hydrogen into other applications,” says Luke Woodside, engineering manager, Baker Hughes. “The development of the hydrogen value chain needs some work, and these strategies that are being put in place now will provide a regulatory framework, government incentives and the enhancement of techn
