Baker Hughes Company announced it has been awarded a contract to be booked in the fourth quarter of 2022 by Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering (MMHE) to supply carbon dioxide (CO(2)) compression equipment to PETRONAS Carigali Sdn. Bhd.'s Kasawari offshore carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) project in Sarawak, Malaysia. The project is expected to be the world's large offshore CCS facility, with capacity to reduce CO(2) emissions by 3.3 million tons per annum (MTPA).

Building on its broad experience in liquefied natural gas and offshore technologies, Baker Hughes will deliver a compression solution with minimized footprint and weight, as well as a power density allowing for larger flows per unit and best-in-class efficiency. The compressors will be used to enable the transportation and reinjection of the CO(2) separated from natural gas into a depleted offshore field via a subsea pipeline. The CCS project is expected to significantly reduce CO(2) volume currently emitted via flaring of the overall Kasawari gas development, supporting PETRONAS' ambitions to unlock Malaysia's potential to be a global carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) hub and enable the company to progress towards achieving its own net zero carbon emission targets by 2050.
