Baker Hughes has launched its new end-to-end, risk-based digital solution for CCUS applications, the CarbonEdge. Powered by Cordant, the new system provides the user with regulatory reporting and operational risk management support.

The CarbonEdge solution works by delivering precise, real-time data and alerts regarding carbon dioxide (CO2) flows throughout a CCUS infrastructure. This includes elements like carbon capture and compression, pipeline transportation, and subsurface storage.

“CCUS technology solutions are essential for driving decarbonisation of the energy and industrial sectors on our path to solving climate change,” said Lorenzo Simonelli, Chairman and CEO at Baker Hughes. “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.”

Key features of the CarbonEdge solution:

  • Users can identify and manage risks, improve their decision-making capabilities, improve operational efficiency, and simplify regulatory reporting.
  • Features an intuitive, integrated dashboard.
  • Aims to be quick to deploy and easy to scale, boosting its connectivity, data synchronisation, and interoperability capabilities across various components within Baker Hughes’ digital ecosystem.
  • Joins the energy company’s JewelSuite, Leucipa, and Cordant solutions, helping to expand users’ energy and industrial value chains to enhance efficiency and operational predictability, while also lowering emissions.

Through the launch of the CarbonEdge platform, Baker Hughes can now combine risk management and reporting technology for measurement, monitoring, and verification (MMV) of CO2 with digital monitoring, engineering expertise and domain knowledge across surface and subsurface planning and operations. Adopting the energy company’s subsurface and autonomous modelling solutions allows for storage site characterisation workflows and comprehensive MMV frameworks.
