As the petrochemical industry faces mounting pressure to cut emissions and meet net-zero targets, operators are seeking smarter ways to modernize aging infrastructure without disrupting production. This white paper explores how replacing steam turbines with electric motors can significantly reduce CO₂ emissions, lower operating costs, and improve system efficiency – all while aligning with global climate goals.
Drawing on Siemens Energy’s extensive experience in brownfield electrification, the paper outlines technical strategies, ROI insights, and real-world case studies that demonstrate how electric drives can help petrochemical plants transition toward sustainable operations.
