Shell and Baker Hughes collaborating in key areas
Firstly, under the MoU, the parties seek to finalize Shell’s supply of certain Baker Hughes U.S. facilities with power and renewable energy credits for two years. This will increase Baker Hughes’ use of renewable energy by 2% to a total of 24% annually.
Moreover, Shell and Baker Hughes will also negotiate a supply of up to 100 GWh of renewable power for Baker Hughes facilities in Europe. They will also explore the development of an on-site solar solution for Baker Hughes’ chemical blending plant in Singapore.
Furthermore, Shell will provide low-carbon transportation and fuel solutions for Baker Hughes. At the same time, Baker Hughes would offer low-carbon solutions to Shell’s LNG fleet through technology upgrades and compressor re-bundles.
Finally, from all the solutions leveraged after the MoU, the two companies will explore and expand opportunities to offer similar solutions to industrial users globally.
