01 / OUR EXPERTISE

Ambition, grounded
in economics.

Cleaner energy and shipping need more than good ideas. They need the right fuel, the right technology and a sound commercial foundation. Blackmount Energy brings these elements together.

Bio-methane &
liquefied bio-methane

We represent BioX, China’s largest biogas producer, for bio-methane and liquefied bio-methane offtake agreements. We also support the sale of BioX biomethane plants under engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts. These plants produce biomethane, biogenic liquid CO₂ and digestate-based organic fertiliser.

03 / OUR STORY

A global outlook.
A grounded approach.

Our name draws inspiration from the Jura Mountains between France and Switzerland, and from the landscapes of Mongolia and Yunnan, China, where our journey began in 1991.

That international perspective shapes our work today: connecting people, technologies and capital across borders. We believe the transition to cleaner energy must make economic sense for the businesses delivering it.
