Baker Hughes is thrilled to announce that it has been chosen by Snam, the Italian energy infrastructure company, to provide turbines for compression that can operate on natural gas and gas blends containing up to 10% hydrogen. This collaboration will help in the decarbonization of Snam’s Adriatic Line project.
Snam is committed to reducing emissions and transitioning towards cleaner energy sources. The new gas compressor station in Sulmona is just one of their efforts in this direction. The 425-kilometer long hydrogen-ready pipeline will allow for the transportation of energy supplies from various regions to northern Europe, including Azerbaijan, Africa, and the Eastern Mediterranean.
Ganesh Ramaswamy, the executive vice president of Industrial & Energy Technology at Baker Hughes, expressed his excitement about this collaboration with Snam. He highlighted their joint efforts in developing innovative technology solutions for decarbonizing energy ecosystems and promoting the hydrogen economy. Ramaswamy emphasized the importance of supporting the transition to cleaner energy sources while ensuring affordability and security in energy supply.
