  • By ICN Bureau | March 07, 2025

Sapphire Technologies, a leader in energy recovery systems for hydrogen and natural gas applications, has announced a strategic expansion into India with its partnership with Tulip Compression Private Limited (TCPL), a prominent provider of energy solutions in the region’s natural gas industry.

Together, the companies aim to deploy Sapphire’s FreeSpin In-line Turboexpander (FIT) technology to India, addressing critical energy infrastructure challenges while advancing the country’s clean energy ambitions.

As India’s natural gas sector continues to expand, with over 24,000 kilometers of pipelines supporting industrial growth, the need for sustainable solutions has never been greater. By leveraging Sapphire’s cutting-edge FIT technology and TCPL’s extensive industry expertise to transform pressure regulation stations into clean energy assets — the two companies have outlined an ambitious plan to deploy over 150 FIT systems across India in the coming years, which could result in a total reduction of 300,000 CO2e per year, marking a significant impact in advancing India’s decarbonization goals.

“Partnering with Tulip Compression Private Limited is an exciting milestone as we expand into one of the world’s most dynamic energy markets,” said Freddie Sarhan, CEO of Sapphire Technologies. “India’s growing natural gas sector offers immense opportunities to deploy our technology, addressing inefficiencies while driving sustainability and economic growth. Together with TCPL, we aim to create a significant impact on India’s journey towards a cleaner energy future.”

“Deploying Sapphire Technologies' state-of-the-art technology in the Indian market for energy recovery shall significantly contribute to cost efficiencies across the ecosystem,” said Rajkumar Sachdeva, Director of Tulip Compression Private Limited. “This partnership marks a pivotal moment for the industry, as we integrate innovative solutions to meet India’s clean energy aspirations. By addressing challenges across key industrial sectors like steel and fertilizer production and the expanding City Gas Distribution network, we are creating opportunities to deliver both environmental and economic benefits to the natural gas ecosystem.”
