Baker Hughes And Modec Collaborate On Gas Combined Cycle Project For Carbon Reduction In New FPSO

Baker Hughes, a global leader in energy technology and equipment for the oil and gas industry, announced today a significant contract in the Brazilian market. In partnership with Japan’s Modec, Baker Hughes will supply gas technology equipment for the floating production storage and offloading unit (FPSO) to be installed in block BM-C-33, located in the pre-salt of the Campos Basin.

Baker Hughes emphasizes that combined cycles are an important trend in the offshore oil and gas industry, enabling a reduction of global carbon emissions from FPSOs. In this project, Baker Hughes aims to achieve a reduction of over 20% in carbon emissions compared to similar open cycle FPSOs with the same energy demand. This is the second combined cycle power generation FPSO project developed by Baker Hughes in Brazilian deep waters, following the 2020 agreement aimed at the Bacalhau FPSO.

Sustainability Goals And Strategic Partnerships In The Gas Project

In the BM-C-33 project, Equinor and its partners aim to achieve a goal of carbon intensity below 6 kg per barrel of oil equivalent throughout the field’s lifetime, compared to the industry global average of 16 kg of CO2 per barrel. Equinor, in partnership with Repsol Sinopec Brasil and Petrobras, is the operator of block BM-C-33. Modec is responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction, and installation services of the FPSO.

New Gas Technology Equipment And Carbon Emission Reduction

Baker Hughes and Modec have signed a contract to provide gas technology equipment for the BM-C-33 FPSO in the Brazilian pre-salt. This project, based on the combined cycle, is an example of the oil and gas industry’s pursuit of more sustainable solutions to reduce carbon emissions. The strategic partnership between the companies strengthens their collaboration and highlights the commitment to achieving sustainability goals. With production expected to begin in 2028, the BM-C-33 FPSO is anticipated to contribute to emission reductions and drive the transition to cleaner energy in the offshore sector.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

At 625 meters above the ground and with a span of 1,420 meters between mountains, China inaugurated the highest bridge in the world — and the 2-hour journey now takes 2 minutes.

A neighboring country of Brazil starts to profit billions from oil after the war in Iran, sees its economy grow at an unusual pace, and enters a silent dilemma that few countries can resolve without a crisis.

War in Iran complicates the situation, the government is considering holding back gasoline prices, and the new minister says that if necessary, the country may even go into more debt to protect families.

What looks like a giant cat sleeping at Hong Kong airport is actually 8 meters long, responds to visitors, and has become an unexpected attraction among passengers arriving without imagining what they will find.

Made from common salt and 50% cheaper than lithium, the new Chinese battery promises a range of 500 km and could revolutionize electric cars starting in 2026.
