From Molecule to Electron: How Baker Hughes is Powering the Future The world doesn't just need more energy—it needs it smarter, cleaner, and faster. Grid interconnection timelines have stretched to 3–7+ years in many U.S. markets—far longer than it takes to build a data center or industrial facility. At Baker Hughes, we're solving this with integrated power solutions that put electrons on-site faster. Get power now, Connect to the grid later. What sets Baker Hughes apart isn't just world-class equipment—it's the solutions engineering that ties it all together. From concept through commissioning, our engineers design, integrate, and optimize complete power systems—controls architecture, electrical and mechanical integration, emissions compliance, and lifecycle optimization—delivering turnkey, end-to-end solutions across every application below. Data Centers & Digital Infrastructure:  We deliver fully integrated power islands—NovaLT™ gas turbines, BRUSH™ generators, BESS, synchronous condensers, and PRISMIC® power management—engineered for 99.999% availability. From mobile deployments to permanent baseload, we offer a phased pathway: power now, grid later, decarbonization over time. Natural Gas Power Generation Our NovaLT™ turbines (12–17+ MW) deliver high-efficiency, modular power with 35,000-hour maintenance intervals, 24-hour engine swaps, and the ability to run on natural gas through 100% hydrogen—no hardware changes required. Geothermal: Subsurface to Surface Baker Hughes leverages decades of subsurface expertise with ORC and steam turbine technology to deliver 24/7 clean, dispatchable baseload power. As Geothermal Systems scale commercially, we deliver integrated solutions from reservoir to grid. Industrial CHP NovaLT: based cogeneration and trigeneration solutions deliver up to ~85% efficiency—turning one fuel source into power, steam, heating, and cooling for manufacturers, refineries, and process facilities. Maritime: Our NovaLT™16 recently earned RINA Type Approval for marine propulsion on natural gas and up to 100% hydrogen—opening a new chapter for fuel-flexible maritime solutions. Decarbonization: Built In Every solution includes a credible decarbonization roadmap: hydrogen-ready turbines, CCUS integration, Net Power™ technology, and geothermal baseload. The future of energy isn't molecules or electrons—it's both. We're Rewriting The Energy Equation™—one project at a time. https://lnkd.in/gfxeD7v5 #BakerHughes #BehindTheMeter #PowerSolutions #DataCenterPower #GetPowerNow #EnergyTransition #Geothermal #NaturalGas #NovaLT #MoleculesToElectrons #SolutionsEngineering #RewritingTheEnergyEquation
