- Turbines to power compressor upgrade on critical gas supply
system
- Contract award follows Baker Hughes installing the first
hydrogen-blend gas turbine for a gas network in Italy
- Hybrid hydrogen turbines support EU Hydrogen Strategy goals to
accelerate the development of clean hydrogen, ensuring its role as
a cornerstone of a climate-neutral energy system by 2050
Baker Hughes (NASDAQ: BKR), an energy technology company, has
been awarded a contract by TERNA, the construction arm of GEK TERNA
Group, to supply gas turbines and compressors that can run on a
blend of natural gas and hydrogen for a new compression station of
the Greek Natural Gas Transmission System. The compression station
will serve domestic gas supply in Greece.
Baker Hughes will provide three compression trains for a total
of three NovaLT12 hydrogen-ready gas turbines and three PCL
compressors. For this project, the technology has been designed to
support the compression station with the capability to transport up
to 10% hydrogen. The station is expected to enter operation in 2024
and directly supports the EU’s Hydrogen Strategy goals to
accelerate the development of clean hydrogen and ensure its role as
a cornerstone of a climate-neutral energy system by 2050.
This latest order builds on Baker Hughes’ extensive experience
in developing and supplying turbomachinery equipment to compress,
transport and utilize hydrogen. In 2020, the company collaborated
with energy infrastructure network provider Snam to introduce the
NovaLT12 gas turbine for transporting hydrogen-gas blends within
its pipeline network in Italy, marking the first time a hybrid
hydrogen turbine was integrated into a natural gas pipeline
system.
“Technology is a critical enabler of the energy transition, and
our wide range of climate technology solutions helps customers to
decarbonize their operations. In addition, this project will
advance the understanding of what’s capable in a hydrogen economy
and supports Europe’s energy transition goals,” said Rod Christie,
executive vice president of Turbomachinery & Process Solutions
at Baker Hughes. “Leveraging our strong foundation of technical
expertise, Baker Hughes is proud to work with customers like TERNA
to bring new energy frontiers forward in support of climate action,
as well as helping to ensure critical natural gas and hydrogen
supplies across Europe.”
Baker Hughes’ experience in the treatment of hydrogen began in
1962 with its first hydrogen compressor. Today, the company’s
advanced technologies serve the entire hydrogen value chain, from
production to transportation and utilization. The company’s
portfolio includes advanced compressors, gas turbines, valves,
centrifugal pumps, non-metallic pipes, hydrogen sensors, monitoring
and diagnostics including inspection solutions for hydrogen
embrittlement in production and storage, as well as clean,
integrated power solutions to produce power with hydrogen and
hydrogen blends. The design of the NovaLT12 allows for blends of
between 5% and 100% hydrogen; the entire NovaLT family of gas
turbines is 100% designed and manufactured in Baker Hughes plants
in Italy.
