Baker Hughes and Giammarco Technologies S.r.l. have announced an exclusive collaboration to advance and commercialise hot potassium carbonate (HPC) solutions for post-combustion capture across a range of energy and industrial sectors. The announcement was made at the 2026 Baker Hughes Annual Meeting in Florence, Italy.

Giammarco Technologies’ HPC process is widely used across more than 400 industrial projects and leverages a safe and sustainable potassium-based solvent to efficiently capture CO2 from gas streams. Under the collaboration, this process will be integrated with Baker Hughes’ turbomachinery technology – including trains for flue gas compression and expansion and mechanical vapor recompression – for post-combustion capture applications.

Together, the companies will seek to leverage multi-sector pilot plant testing and deliver fully integrated, customised solutions that will help lower the cost of carbon capture. Already supporting customers with feasibility studies and prospecting front-end engineering design (FEED), the companies will deliver projects through full execution across multiple industries.

“We are proud to collaborate with Giammarco Technologies. Together, our capabilities will expand the use of HPC across hard-to-abate sectors and unlock new pathways for energy and industrial decarbonisation 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.”

“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,” said Giuseppe Giammarco, CEO of Giammarco Technologies. “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 decarbonisation.”
