据管道&天然气杂志网3月7日报道，油田服务提供商贝克休斯公司（Baker Hughes Co.）周二表示，将与合成燃料制造商HIF Global合作开发二氧化碳直接空气捕获（DAC）技术。

贝克休斯表示，该合作伙伴计划测试Mosaic Materials技术，以加速DAC的商业规模部署。

合成燃料（eFuel）是通过将从大气中提取的二氧化碳与氢气相结合而生产的，可以无需任何修改在现有车辆中使用。

HIF在智利有一个eFuel设施，预计2024年在得克萨斯州开始建设另一个。该公司预计贝克公司的技术可能会在这些站点部署。

HIF首席执行官Cesar Norton在一份声明中表示，该合作伙伴关系“加速了我们每年捕获2500万吨二氧化碳的计划，并将其与绿色氢结合，每天生产15万桶合成燃料，并为目前使用的500多万辆汽车脱碳”。

像西方石油公司（Occidental Petroleum Corp.）这样的能源公司正在增加对DAC技术的投资，以帮助应对全球变暖。

Baker Hughes to Develop Carbon Capture Tech with HIF Global

Oilfield services provider Baker Hughes Co. said on Tuesday it would develop technology for direct air capture (DAC) of carbon dioxide with synthetic fuel maker HIF Global.

The partnership intends to test unit Mosaic Materials' technology to accelerate DAC deployment at commercial scale, Baker Hughes said.

Synthetic fuel, or eFuel, is produced by combining carbon dioxide extracted from the atmosphere with hydrogen and it can be used in existing vehicles without any modifications.

HIF has an eFuel facility in Chile and it expects to begin construction of another at Texas in 2024. It anticipates possible deployment of Baker's technology at these sites.

The partnership, "accelerates our plan to capture 25 million tons per year of CO2 and combine it with green hydrogen to produce 150,000 barrels per day of eFuels and decarbonize over 5 million vehicles in use today," HIF Chief Executive Cesar Norton said in a statement.

Energy companies like Occidental Petroleum Corp. are increasing investments in DAC technology as a way to help combat global warming.
