Baker Hughes and the University of California, Berkeley, announced on December 12, 2024, a new long-term research partnership to establish the Baker Hughes Institute for Decarbonization Materials at UC Berkeley's College of Chemistry. This initiative aims to accelerate the deployment and scaling of cost-effective climate technology solutions.
Baker Hughes will fund collaborative research focused on developing next-generation materials for various energy and industrial applications, including carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), hydrogen, and clean power generation. The company will be involved from the earliest research stages to align programs with evolving market and customer needs.
The institute will be led by Professor Jeffrey Long, a materials expert known for pioneering metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for carbon dioxide adsorption. This partnership builds on Baker Hughes' existing work in climate technologies, including its 2022 acquisition of Mosaic Materials, which originated from Professor Long's lab.
