Hexagon Agility delivers 6,000th cylinder in Nordic biomethane milestone

Hexagon Agility, a business of Hexagon Composites and the global leader in high-pressure composite cylinder technology, has delivered its 6,000th carbon fibre gas distribution cylinder to Processkontroll Green Technology, the Nordic region's leading supplier of infrastructure for green energy gases.
The milestone marks a major achievement in a 17-year partnership between two Nordic clean-tech pioneers — Sweden's Processkontroll Green Technology and Norway's Hexagon Agility — who joined forces in 2009 to drive the energy transition.
Expanding virtual pipelines across the Nordics
Since 2009, the partnership has driven the expansion of biomethane and hydrogen infrastructure across the Nordic region, strengthening sustainability and energy security for industries and communities without access to pipeline gas.
Bo Axelsson, CEO of Processkontroll Green Technology, said: "Sweden's limited gas pipeline infrastructure forced us to innovate early. With less than 10% of the country connected to a gas grid, we had to develop mobile solutions from the ground up.
Our partnership with Hexagon Agility has been instrumental in scaling this model across the Nordics. With over 300 installations — including Europe's largest biomethane filling station delivered in 2025 — we're really proud to lead the transition to sustainable energy and mobility."
Over 17 years, the technology has powered bus fleets in Stockholm, Oslo, and across Scandinavia, fuelled industrial operations including food processing and car manufacturing, and helped community institutions from churches to schools replace propane or diesel with biomethane.
The customer receiving the biomethane distribution module containing the 6,000th cylinder is Redo Biosolutions, a Norwegian energy company owned by Air Liquide and Skagerak Energi AS.
Svein-Morten Hansen, Technical and Project Manager at Redo Biosolutions, said: "Since purchasing our first unit in 2016, our fleet has grown to around 20 containers. We rely on Processkontroll's mobile gas containers every day to transport biomethane. These systems support our vehicle fuelling stations, biomethane production sites, and grid injection points in both Norway and Sweden."
Eric Bippus, Chief Commercial Officer at Hexagon Agility, said: "With 6,000 cylinders now in operation, together we have effectively built the backbone for large-scale biomethane distribution across the Nordic region. Back in 2009, we recognised that by combining our expertise in composite pressure technology with Processkontroll's leadership in green gas systems, we could scale clean energy across the Nordics far more effectively together than apart. As the two pioneers in our respective fields, we've built a partnership rooted in trust, innovation, and shared purpose. Hexagon Agility is proud to lead globally in this technology, and even prouder to see it delivering real impact here in our Group's home region."
This milestone comes amid accelerating demand for biomethane in Northern Europe. In the first 17 years of the partnership, Hexagon supplied approximately 5,500 cylinders to Processkontroll; with biomethane adoption now rising sharply, approximately 1,000 cylinders are set to be delivered within a 12-month timeframe.
