Changing the fossil fuel industry from the inside - Allyson Anderson Book, Baker Hughes

28% less greenhouse gas emissions.  That’s what Baker Hughes achieved only three years after committing to a net-zero goal by 2050. Coming from a history of over 100 years serving the oil and gas industry with drilling equipment, they were one of the first companies in their sector to announce such a target.   Allyson Anderson Book is Baker Hughes’ Chief Sustainability Officer and our guest on the latest episode of The Switch – to a green economy.   Three main activities got their emissions down:  Increased energy efficiency  Changing to a low-carbon vehicle fleet More renewable and zero-carbon electricity This first step on the road to net-zero has focused on the company’s own operations.  Changing the emissions of their suppliers and customers will be a tougher nut to crack. But to make change happen, you have to start in your own backyard.  Watch on YouTube, listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.  Were you surprised to hear an oil service company having a net-zero goal?
