Electric Drive Solutions for a more sustainable LNG production
eLNG: a cleaner, more efficient solution for LNG production.
The world is shifting towards cleaner energy sources, and LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) continues to be a key player in that transition. However, the traditional methods of producing LNG using gas turbines are energy-intensive and contribute to significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In response, the industry is increasingly turning to eLNG - a process where electrical power can be sourced from more efficient and lower carbon footprint grids to liquify the natural gas.
LNG is natural gas cooled to -162°C so it becomes 600 times less in volume, then ideal for shipping to global customers. By using electricity instead of gas turbines - especially from renewable sources - we create eLNG: a key technology in the transition towards full electrification of the energy sector.
We are leading the way with our drive solutions that electrify the entire LNG production process, offering enhanced flexibility, reduced emissions, and long-term operational savings.
Benefit from our electric drives in your LNG production process
Our variable Speed Drives and our High Voltage motors can operate above double the complete system efficiency of gas turbines, ensuring the highest operational performance and delivering affordable and sustainable energy.

Success Story: Powering the world’s first all-electric eLNG plant for 18 years
Challenge: In Hammerfest, Norway, the world’s first all-electric LNG (eLNG) mega train aimed to reduce CO₂ emissions, improve efficiency, and ensure reliable production by replacing gas turbines with a high-performance electric solution for continuous output in harsh Arctic conditions.
Solution: For nearly 20 years, we’ve powered the world’s first all-electric eLNG facility with two 65 MW refrigeration compressor drives. This scalable, high-performance solution has boosted production, reduced maintenance, optimized energy use, and significantly cut emissions, ensuring reliable, uninterrupted LNG production.
