STEAM AND GAS TURBINE ELECTRIFICATION
Electrification across industries is no longer a trend or a “nice to have” - it is a critical driver of business performance and long-term growth. The energy transition is accelerating rapidly, fueled in part by increasingly ambitious sustainability strategies adopted by companies worldwide.
A key opportunity lies in replacing traditional turbine-driven systems used in industrial energy conversion processes. Historically, high-power compressors and pumps have relied on mechanical drivers such as steam and gas turbines powered by fossil fuels. These systems result in high carbon emissions as well as significant capital and operational costs.
ABB’s proven drive and motor solutions offer a smarter alternative. Built on decades of engineering expertise, ABB enables reliable electrification across industries through efficient electric solutions that can replace mechanical turbines in both existing (brownfield) and new (greenfield) operations.
