Baker Hughes, a leading energy technology company, has announced the launch of CarbonEdge™, powered by Cordant™. This innovative product is the first end-to-end, risk-based digital solution specifically designed for carbon capture, utilisation, and storage operations. CarbonEdge offers comprehensive support for regulatory reporting and operational risk management, providing users with a unified approach to managing CCUS infrastructure.
Featuring an intuitive, integrated dashboard, CarbonEdge delivers precise, real-time data and alerts on carbon dioxide flows throughout the CCUS lifecycle, including carbon capture, compression, pipeline transportation, and subsurface storage. This seamless connectivity across the entire CCUS project lifecycle enables customers to effectively identify and manage risks, improve decision-making processes, enhance operational efficiency, and streamline regulatory reporting.
Baker Hughes boasts a broad portfolio of technologies and expertise that span the entire CCUS value chain. The introduction of CarbonEdge positions Baker Hughes as the only provider to combine advanced risk management and reporting technology for measurement, monitoring, and verification of CO2 with extensive digital monitoring, engineering expertise, and domain knowledge across surface and subsurface planning and operations. The solution’s integration with Baker Hughes’ subsurface and autonomous modeling capabilities provides comprehensive workflows for storage site characterization and MMV frameworks.
“CCUS technology solutions are essential for driving decarbonization of the energy and industrial sectors on our path to solving for climate change,” said Baker Hughes chairman and CEO Lorenzo Simonelli. “With the launch of CarbonEdge, we not only expand our portfolio of digital solutions to support new energies and empower our customers’ ability to mitigate risk while enhancing operational efficiency, but also take a bold step toward a future with more sustainable energy development. We look forward to working alongside Wabash Valley Resources to refine and evolve CarbonEdge, ensuring it continues to meet the dynamic needs of a rapidly changing industry.”
In July 2024, Wabash Valley Resources, a leader in low-carbon ammonia fertilizer production, entered into a long-term agreement with Baker Hughes to provide advanced technology services and solutions for WVR’s ammonia production. This includes compression systems, injection well construction, and testing and monitoring services for the geological sequestration of CO2. As the launch customer, WVR will utilize CarbonEdge to measure, monitor, and verify the volumes of CO2 collected, transported, and sequestered underground. The two companies will collaborate closely on the further development of the CarbonEdge platform.
CarbonEdge, powered by Cordant, is adaptable to any CCUS infrastructure across various industries. It is designed for quick deployment and easy scalability, ensuring seamless connectivity, data synchronization, and interoperability across the digital ecosystems of Baker Hughes and its customers.
As the first fully integrated digital offering within Baker Hughes’ Climate Technology Solutions portfolio, CarbonEdge complements existing Baker Hughes digital solutions such as JewelSuite, Leucipa™, and Cordant™. These technologies collectively aim to increase efficiency, enhance operational predictability, and support efforts to reduce emissions across the energy and industrial value chains.
