Burckhardt Compression Secures Orders for 45 Biogas Plants in India

Switzerland based Burckhardt Compression has announced that it has been selected as the ‘preferred supplier’ for 45 biogas installations across India in the last fiscal year.

Burckhardt Compression is a global leader in the design and manufacture of reciprocating compressors. “These major orders, involving 82 Standard High-Pressure Compressors, are underpinning the company’s growth in sustainable energy solutions,” Burckhardt Compression said in its official statement.

The global biogas market is on the rise, expected to grow from 5% to 20% by 2040 according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), with higher growth rates expected in developing countries. Biogas installations play a crucial role in decarbonization by converting organic waste into valuable energy, reducing methane emissions, and contributing to the circular economy.

Burckhardt Compression sees India making significant strides in promoting biogas as part of its renewable energy strategy. The installation of Compressed Biogas (CBG) plants is central to this effort, with the Sustainable Alternative towards Affordable Transportation (SATAT) scheme providing vital support to local farmers in setting up these plants.

By offering high-performance compression solutions, Burckhardt Compression says it is well-positioned to support the growth of the biogas sector globally. Its Standard High-Pressure Compressors are renowned for their efficiency and reliability, making them the ideal choice for biogas projects.

Fabrice Billard, CEO of Burckhardt Compression, stated, “We are honored to be chosen as the preferred supplier for these important biogas projects in India. Our compressors are designed to meet the highest standards of efficiency and reliability, ensuring that biogas installations can operate at their best capacity. These orders underscore our strategy and commitment to support sustainable energy solutions.”
