WEG is delivering a total of 23 electric motors to a global EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) client specializing in the engineering and construction of plants for industrial gases such as oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, CO₂, and LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas). The supply includes induction motors from the W60 and M lines, as well as synchronous motors from the SM40 line, designed to meet the demanding requirements of these applications.

Deliveries occurred throughout 2024, with synchronous motors scheduled for 2025. The final destination is one of the largest blue ammonia plants in Texas, USA. Blue ammonia is produced from fossil fuels (such as natural gas), but with the critical distinction that the majority of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions are captured and permanently stored using Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology. This process results in a low-carbon product, which is essential for advancing the energy transition.

The WEG operations in Germany, Italy, USA, India, and Spain were involved in this project, highlighting the company’s global operational reach and coordination.

Induction motors will be used to drive pumps and compressors, while synchronous motors will operate in centrifugal compressors. This supply strengthens a strategic partnership with a recurring customer, highlighting the reliability and efficiency of WEG solutions in large-scale projects in the energy and industrial gas sectors.

This blue ammonia project represents an investment of US$1.8 billion and will have the capacity to capture more than 1.7 million tons of CO₂ per year through CCS technology. The production of low-carbon blue ammonia is considered strategic for sectors such as fertilizers, energy, and maritime transport, with global demand expected to double by 2050, with the low-carbon segment accounting for up to two-thirds of this volume.

For WEG, participating in this project goes beyond technical supply. It consolidates the company’s commitment to solutions aligned with ESG and sustainability pillars, supporting the global energy transition and reinforcing the trust of major international players.
