ADNOC, Baker Hughes to advance hydrogen technology innovation
ADNOC and Baker Hughes announced their agreement to accelerate the development and commercialization of technology solutions for green and low-carbon hydrogen, as well as graphene.
According to ADNOC, 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 decarbonization. The collaboration builds on ADNOC’s $15 billion commitment towards decarbonization projects by 2030.

"The unique properties of graphene make it a promising agent to help decarbonize a variety of hard-to-abate sectors while hydrogen can serve to accelerate decarbonization as it does not generate any carbon emissions at point of use. Across ADNOC, we are proactively pursuing a strategy to accelerate the production and deployment of low-carbon and renewable hydrogen", said Musabbeh Al Kaabi, ADNOC Executive Director, Low Carbon Solutions and International Growth Directorate.
More specifically, ADNOC noted that the collaboration will include exploring the application of three emerging technologies that Baker Hughes has invested in:
- Piloting next-generation electrolyser technology from Nemesys, to explore the possibility of installing and operating an electrolyzer at the ADNOC Research and Innovation Center (ADIRC) in Abu Dhabi, building on the center’s growing portfolio of technology development capabilites.
- Field testing methane plasma technology from Levidian to capture carbon in the form of high quality graphene and hydrogen in ADNOC Gas’ facilities. The graphene produced will be tested for industrial use cases by researchers at Khalifa University (RIC-2D).
- Testing the use of Ekona Power’s growth stage methane pyrolysis technology to produce low-Green House Gases (GHG) intensity hydrogen.
"We are proud to support ADNOC on its continuing journey to deploy new climate technology solutions that can advance the global energy transition", said Lorenzo Simonelli, Baker Hughes chairman and CEO.
