Baker Hughes and Giammarco Technologies partner on post-combustion capture

Global energy technology firm Baker Hughes and Venice-based Giammarco Technologies are to collaborate on commercialising hot potassium carbonate [HPC] solutions for post-combustion capture across a range of energy and industrial sectors.
The announcement was made at the 2026 Baker Hughes Annual Meeting in Florence.
Giammarco Technologies’ proven HPC process is already widely used across more than 400 industrial projects and leverages a safe and sustainable potassium-based solvent to capture carbon dioxide from gas streams.
Under the collaboration, this process will be integrated with Baker Hughes’ turbomachinery technology – including trains for flue gas compression and expansion and mechanical vapor recompression – for post-combustion capture applications.
Together, the companies will seek to leverage multi-sector pilot plant testing and deliver fully integrated, customised solutions that will help lower the cost of carbon capture.
Both companies are already supporting customers with feasibility studies and prospecting front-end engineering design, and the new tie up aims deliver projects through full execution across multiple industries.
Ahmed Eldemerdash, Vice-President of Climate Technology Solutions at Baker Hughes, said, “Together, our complementary capabilities will expand the use of HPC across hard-to-abate sectors and unlock new pathways for energy and industrial decarbonisation at scale.”
Giuseppe Giammarco, CEO of Giammarco Technologies, said the partnership marks a major step forward in the global deployment of its HPC process and strengthens its position in the post-combustion carbon capture space.
The theme of this year’s annual meeting, Energy Equation, focuses on the balance between industrial outcomes and energy sources, and features a broad agenda with speakers across industry, government and academia.
