Aiming for an Energy Transition Quickly and Efficiently, Shell and Baker Hughes Strike a New Partnership to Join Forces to Achieve Zero CO2 Emission Targets

Baker Hughes and Shell struck a new partnership this week aimed at joining forces to foster the energy transition and achieve zero carbon dioxide emission targets. According to the agreement, Shell and Baker Hughes will work together to ensure that their respective net-zero carbon emissions commitments are met. Furthermore, the companies will also advance technological decarbonization solutions for the energy and industrial sectors.

Shell and Baker Hughes Will Also Negotiate Renewable Energy for the Energy Transition

According to Baker Hughes’ CEO and President, Lorenzo Simonelli, the energy transition agreement with Shell is another example of how the company is collaborating in other ways to meet zero emission targets for its customers. The urgency due to the energy transition to meet the targets of the Paris Agreement necessitates collaboration to accelerate actionable steps to reduce emissions in various ways.

The memorandum of understanding signed between Shell and Baker Hughes seeks to develop the relationship that exists between the companies in various sectors. On one side, Shell will provide Baker Hughes with energy and sustainable energy credits for certain selected facilities in the United States.
