據世界石油6月29日消息，油服公司貝克休斯收購了一家旨在利用氫氣和二氧化碳生產天然氣的初創公司15%的股份，這是這家油田服務公司投資排放捕獲技術的最新舉措。

　　據一份聲明稱，總部位于休斯敦的貝克休斯正在投資 Electrochaea公司，這是一家德國公司，正在開發一種利用二氧化碳和使用可再生能源生產的氫氣制造所謂合成天然氣的工藝。財務條款尚未披露。二氧化碳的來源包括工業生產和有機物的分解。

　　這項投資是貝克休斯支持技術的最新舉措，該技術旨在解決人們對溫室氣體排放的擔憂。本月早些時候，貝克休斯宣布計劃在挪威建立一個捕獲和儲存二氧化碳的中心。

　　貝克休斯渦輪機械和工藝解決方案執行副總裁Rod Christie在聲明中表示，貝克休斯和Electrochaea技術“為道路運輸和供暖等難以減少的行業提供了一種綜合脫碳方法”。通過該項投資，貝克休斯將在Electrochaea董事會占有一席之地。

　　Baker Hughes takes a stake in synthetic natural gas startup

　　Baker Hughes is taking a 15% stake in a startup that aims to produce natural gas from hydrogen and carbon dioxide, the oilfield service company’s latest move to invest technology designed to capture emissions.

　　Houston-based Baker Hughes is investing in Electrochaea GmbH, a German company developing a process to make so-called synthetic natural gas from carbon dioxide and from hydrogen produced using renewable energy, according to a statement. Financial terms weren’t disclosed. The CO2 can be derived from sources including industrial plants and the breakdown of organic matter.

　　The investment is the latest example of an oilfield service provider backing technology intended to address concerns about greenhouse gas emissions. Earlier this month, Baker Hughes announced plans to develop a hub in Norway to capture and store CO2.

　　Baker Hughes and Electrochaea technology “provides an integrated method to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors such as road transportation and heating,” Rod Christie, executive vice president of turbomachinery and process solutions at Baker Hughes, said in the statement. With its investment, Baker Hughes will get a seat on Electrochaea’s board.
