UAE - Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) has signed an agreement with leading energy technology company Baker Hughes to accelerate the development and commercialisation of technology solutions for green and low-carbon hydrogen, as well as graphene.

The agreement, which follows a strategic technology collaboration agreement signed between the two companies in November 2022, will see Adnoc collaborate with Baker Hughes as a strategic partner to study and pilot, the deployment of innovative solutions from Baker Hughes’ hydrogen portfolio.

These include new growth stage decarbonisation technologies Baker Hughes has invested in across the graphene, methane pyrolysis and next-generation electrolysis spaces.

The agreement was signed at the UAE climate tech conference in Abu Dhabi, where over 1,000 global policy makers, innovators, and industrial leaders met to drive technological solutions for decarbonisation.

The collaboration builds on Adnoc’s $15 billion commitment towards decarbonisation projects by 2030.

Musabbeh Al Kaabi, the Adnoc Executive Director, Low Carbon Solutions and International Growth Directorate, said: "The unique properties of graphene make it a promising agent to help decarbonise a variety of hard-to-abate sectors while hydrogen can serve to accelerate decarbonisation as it does ADNOC Classification: Public not generate any carbon emissions at point of use."
