Baker Hughes and Giammarco Technologies S.r.l. have entered into an exclusive partnership to accelerate the development and commercialization of Hot Potassium Carbonate (HPC) solutions for post-combustion carbon capture across diverse energy and industrial applications. The collaboration was unveiled during the 2026 Baker Hughes Annual Meeting in Florence, Italy.
Giammarco Technologies’ established HPC process, deployed in more than 400 industrial installations worldwide, utilizes a safe, potassium-based solvent to efficiently remove CO₂ from gas streams. As part of the agreement, this technology will be combined with Baker Hughes’ turbomachinery portfolio, including flue gas compression and expansion trains and mechanical vapor recompression systems, to support post-combustion capture projects.
The two companies plan to conduct cross-sector pilot testing and provide integrated, tailor-made systems designed to reduce the overall cost of carbon capture. They are already assisting clients with feasibility assessments and front-end engineering design (FEED) studies, with plans to deliver full-scale project execution across multiple industries.
Ahmed Eldemerdash, Vice President of Climate Technology Solutions at Baker Hughes, said the partnership brings together complementary expertise to broaden HPC deployment in hard-to-abate sectors and advance large-scale decarbonization efforts. He emphasized the company’s commitment to enhancing the commercial feasibility of CO₂ projects and supporting global emissions reduction goals.
Giuseppe Giammarco, CEO of Giammarco Technologies, described the collaboration as a significant milestone in expanding the global reach of the company’s HPC technology and reinforcing its leadership in post-combustion carbon capture. He noted that integrating their advanced process with Baker Hughes’ global project delivery capabilities will enable efficient, cost-effective, and fully integrated decarbonization solutions for the energy and industrial markets.
With this agreement, the HPC solution becomes part of Baker Hughes’ comprehensive CCUS portfolio, which spans advisory services, front-end design, carbon capture and purification systems, specialized compression and liquefaction technologies, well engineering for injection and monitoring, and long-term site management.
