Environmental impacts of application purpose
Target for 2027
Our core competence is mastering gas compression technologies for a wide range of gases and applications. Gas plays a crucial role in the process industry and energy supply, with applications ranging from conventionial energy supply to industrial gases to renewable energy systems. A significant part of the indirect environmental impact of our business activities is linked to the application purpose.
We have the potential to conbribute to three of our strategic Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 7: Affordable and clean energy, SDG 12: Responsible consumption and production, and SDG 13: Climate action). The main impacts of this topic are related to the use phase of our products and services.

Largest green H2 production facility in Europe uses our cutting-edge compressors
We have been selected to provide three advanced oil-free hydrogen compressors for a groundbreaking green hydrogen project in France. The project, a 200 MW electrolyzer plant, is scheduled to commerce production in 2026. With a projected annual output of 28’000 tons of green hydrogen, it represents a step toward a more sustainable future by annually reducing carbon dioxide emissions of around 250’000 tons.
Our approach
We are committed to the long-term alignment of our business activities with a sustainable economic system. We identified four positive impact areas:
- Climate change mitigation
- Energy transition
- Circular economy
- Environmental pollution prevention
We have developed a sustainability screening approach to analyze our business activities from an environmental impact perspective. This classification system makes use of international standards such as the EU taxonomy for sustainable activities or South Korea’s K-Taxonomy, without claiming to fulfil all their technical requirements. The main purpose of our screening system is to serve as a compass for the development of our business activities towards a sustainable energy future.
