Renewables for energy transition

Baker Hughes' technologies offer best-in-class efficiency in a wide range of power generation applications, contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions. We provide advanced solutions for a wide range of renewable industries, complying with the specific requirements of each application: operational flexibility for biomass and waste-to-energy; optimized load ramp-up and daily starts for concentrated solar plants; and corrosion-resistant materials for aggressive or geothermal steam contaminants.

Combined cycles

Combined-cycle plants are under increasing pressure as they need to complement variable wind and solar resources. The flexibility and reliability improvements provided by our technologies will play an important role in maintaining plants' economic viability.
