(AOF) – American oil services company, Baker Hughes and Avports (airport management and operation company) have signed an agreement to develop low-carbon energy solutions for the airport industry. The collaboration agreement focuses on reducing emissions and the global industry’s goal of focusing on zero-emission buildings, horizontal airport infrastructure, vehicles and aircraft systems.
At the airports it manages, Avports focuses on airport innovation and sustainability initiatives that include energy resilience and the use of energy solutions such as green hydrogen.
With Baker Hughes’ extensive portfolio of energy technologies, which includes both hydrogen-ready turbines and heat recovery solutions ideal for microgrid applications, this collaboration will accelerate the adoption and development of micro – personalized networks to meet the specific needs of each airport.

Biogas to green activities
Obtained through the decomposition of waste, it falls into the category of green energy. It is part of the strategy of many countries, particularly in Europe, to reduce their dependence on hydrocarbon imports. The oil groups have strong ambitions in the field, as revealed by two recent operations. The British BP took over the American Archaea Energy for 4.1 billion dollars. Then, the Anglo-Dutch, Shell, announced the acquisition of the Danish Nature Energy for 2 billion dollars. These transactions show high valuation levels, underlining the strong potential of the sector. TotalEnergies had already taken a stake in the American Clean Energy Fuels Corp in 2018, of which it now holds 19%. It recently joined forces with Veolia to recover biomethane from waste treatment facilities.
