Baker Hughes has announced the debut of its digital platform to track CO2 volumes in real time, CarbonEdge. CarbonEdge utilizes carbon capture utilization and sequestration journey, which includes pipeline flows.

Powered by Cordant, the Houston-based Baker Hughes boasts CarbonEdge is “the first end-to-end, risk-based digital platform for CCUS operations that provides comprehensive support, regulatory reporting, and operational risk management,” according to the company.

The connectivity across the entire CCUS project lifecycle will assist customers to better improve decision-making, enhance operational efficiency, identify and manage risk, and simplify regulatory reporting. Applicable to any CCUS infrastructure applied across multiple industries, CarbonEdge joins other Baker Hughes’ digital solutions in JewelSuite, Leucipa, and Cordant, which all span the energy and industrial value chains to help ensure lower emissions.

“CCUS technology solutions are essential for driving decarbonization of the energy and industrial sectors on our path to solving for climate change,” Baker Hughes Chairman and CEO Lorenzo Simonelli says in a news release.

The launch customer will be Wabash Valley Resources (WVR), which is a low-carbon ammonia fertilizer pioneer in Indiana.WVR will deploy Baker Hughes’ CarbonEdge platform to monitor, measure, and verify volumes of CO2 transported, collected, and sequestered underground.

“With the launch of CarbonEdge, we not only expand our portfolio of digital solutions to support new energies and empower our customers’ ability to mitigate risk while enhancing operational efficiency, but also take a bold step toward a future with more sustainable energy development,” Simonelli continues.”We look forward to working alongside Wabash Valley Resources to refine and evolve CarbonEdge, ensuring it continues to meet the dynamic needs of a rapidly changing industry.”

The Woodlands-based Plus Power announced this month that it has entered into a 20-year energy storage agreement with Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), one of the largest public energy providers in the U.S.

Through the agreement, Plus Power and TVA will develop the Crawfish Creek Energy Storage project, a 200-megawatt / 800-megawatt-hour utility-scale battery energy storage facility in Jackson County, Alabama.

Construction on Crawfish Creek Energy Storage is expected to begin in 2028, and commercial operation is planned for the summer of 2029. The project will store electricity when demand is low and release it during peak periods, helping improve grid reliability, affordability, and energy security, according to a news release.

"Battery storage is essential to protecting the reliable, affordable electricity our region depends on to power next-generation technologies," Monika Beckner, TVA vice president, power supply & fuels, said in the release. "Projects like Crawfish Creek strengthen the Valley's energy security, improve our ability to manage extreme conditions, and help unleash American energy."

TVA selected Plus Power for the project in 2025 via a request for proposal to supply new capacity resources needed across the region. Plus Power currently owns and operates nine facilities that provide enhanced power reliability to Arizona, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts and Texas, totaling 1,650 megawatts/4,150 megawatt-hours. With this deal, Plus Power is entering its seventh state market and expanding into the Southeast.

"Plus Power is proud to support energy resilience in Jackson County and the Tennessee Valley, a key region for America's military, aerospace, and nuclear innovation," Brian Duncan, chief commercial officer at Plus Power, said in a news release. "Battery energy storage systems are flexible and millisecond-fast, making Crawfish Creek uniquely suited to meet the region's evolving needs. We are excited to partner with TVA to deliver a resource that supports economic expansion while strengthening American energy dominance and security.”
