November edition: converting climate ambition into implementation

2025 marks 10 years since the Paris Agreement was adopted at COP21 in Paris.

With implementation high on this year’s agenda, COP30 Brazil underscores a people and nature-centered approach to climate action. This is reflected in the Presidency's call for a global 'Mutirão'—a Portuguese term describing a collective effort toward a common goal.

Baker Hughes is participating in Spotlighting private sector solutions for COP30, in addition to several other engagements and activities at COP30.

In this issue, we've curated content that showcases Baker Hughes’ contribution to advancing sustainability in the context of COP30 👇.

All in, Carbon out

'Carbon Out' is Baker Hughes’ global employee engagement program officially launched in 2022 to support efforts in reducing both direct and indirect emissions across the full value chain. The program empowers employees to champion sustainability and cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions globally.

Employees at all levels identify and implement emissions reduction projects. These range from small, local improvements to more extensive operational changes.

Unlocking Brazil’s vital natural resources in pre-salt fields, while safely returning CO2 deep underground

Earlier this year, Baker Hughes was awarded by Petrobras as the first joint technology agreement to develop definitive solution to pipeline erosion,  to unlock the vital natural resources that power the region, while also safely returning CO2 deep underground. Petrobras is reinjecting CO2 from their production operations into wells to reduce flaring and enhance oil recovery. Petrobras has committed to limiting atmospheric emissions, and carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is an important tool for achieving this goal.

Baker Hughes has played a significant role in developing Brazil’s offshore energy sector, supplying flexible pipe systems and advanced monitoring technologies that reduce the effects of high CO2 environments. The company’s localization efforts also support the Brazilian economy and strengthen the energy supply chain.  

From data gaps to real gains: how to build a credible, high-impact sustainability strategy
