H2 Offshore Production

Compressor Solutions for Offshore H2 Production

The energy transformation requires a large amount of green hydrogen. The power produced at offshore wind parks can be converted into hydrogen. Hydrogen produced on offshore platforms can be compressed for storage or injected into pipelines.

Burckhardt Compression is one of the global market leaders in the field of reciprocating compressors. Its compressor systems are used in various applications
and markets, such as offshore and marine as well as hydrogen mobility and energy. We offer oil-free compressor systems maintaining highest hydrogen purity.
