Ebara Elliott Energy (EEE) and Doosan Enerbility have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to co-develop advanced gas turbine-driven centrifugal compressors for the liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry.

The long-term partnership integrates Doosan’s newest, advanced frame gas turbines with EEE’s historical and technical pioneering leadership in LNG turbomachinery, specifically refrigeration compressors, expanders, and pumps. 

Combining these technologies will provide the industry with state-of-the-art, highly efficient, and robust gas turbine-driven compression solutions.

While Doosan’s specialised gas turbine framework is projected for commercial readiness in early 2028, joint engineering alignment and market development will begin immediately.

"We look forward to working with Doosan Enerbility on this promising partnership," said Nobu Miyaki, President and CEO of Ebara Elliott Energy. "This collaboration leverages our deep LNG legacy to engineer a technically leading, high-performance string that delivers the exceptional reliability our customers demand."

Seungwoo Sohn, CEO of Doosan Enerbility Power Service Business Group, emphasised the competitive value of the collaboration.

"This partnership accelerates our turbine technology's reach into a vital sector of the global energy mix," Sohn said. "Together, we are creating a seamless, high-efficiency solution that addresses market needs, secures plant availability, and drives long-term value for LNG operators worldwide."
