Carbon-Free CNG Supply for Biopharmaceutical Facility

Novo Nordisk | Lebanon, NH | Healthcare

XNG delivered carbon-free CNG to power Novo Nordisk’s Lebanon campus, supporting both uninterrupted operations and the company’s global sustainability targets.

The Problem

Novo Nordisk, a global leader in biopharmaceuticals, required a sustainable energy solution for its 215,000 sq. ft. manufacturing site in Lebanon, NH. Despite plans for a backup fuel system, persistent engineering delays left the facility without redundancy. With production of critical treatments for hemophilia and growth hormone disorders on the line, any fuel interruption posed serious risk. The company also prioritized alignment with its Circular for Zero sustainability initiative, requiring a reliable low-carbon energy source.
