Fabrice Billard, CEO of Burckhardt Compression said: "Hydrogen is an energy carrier with considerable potential, especially for heavy-duty applications. We are pleased to continue researching these technologies together with Shell New Energies in order to contribute to the energy transition and the reduction of CO2 emissions. Our teams, together with Shell New Energies, have successfully completed the first technical milestones of the project and this new facility will allow us to test and optimize the new compressors before launch."
The test facility is expected to be operational by the end of 2022 or early 2023, with testing to be completed by the end of the same year.
