CAUSEWAYGT, a renewable energy company founded in the Republic of Ireland, and Baker Hughes have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to collaborate on geothermal projects and technology development designed to deliver low carbon heating and cooling for commercial and industrial facilities and processes. The companies’ work will be initially focused in the Republic of Ireland and the U.K.

Baker Hughes will explore the use of its wells services and products, project management, subsurface assessment, digital technology services and further applicable technologies to support CAUSEWAYGT’s geothermal projects. The companies also plan to deploy Baker Hughes’s technology in CAUSEWAYGT’s demonstration project to supply clean heat in the West Firsby oil field operated by Europa. If successful, the project will prove the operational ability to extract and use geothermal heat throughout Europe.

CAUSEWAYGT will act as coordinator of geothermal energy development opportunities and will market integrated solutions with Baker Hughes technologies toward relevant customers, providing systems design and project management. The company will also lead technology development projects and associated academic and industry opportunities to jointly promote geothermal growth for both companies. 

Baker Hughes has more than 40 years’ experience in geothermal energy with projects in more than 27 countries across five continents, including the U.K. and Europe. The company’s geothermal portfolio includes technology and services ranging from reservoir feasibility and subsurface characterization, complete well construction solutions, digital integration, power generating turbomachinery and capabilities for horizontal integration in all aspects of geothermal project development.
