Everllence has signed a contract with MT Group for the delivery of a 5 MW hermetically sealed MOPICO (Motor Pipeline Compressor) system with integrated magnetic bearing technology. The compressor will be installed at the Jauniunai compressor station in Lithuania and operated by AB Amber Grid, the country’s national gas transmission system operator.
Lithuania’s gas transmission network serves as a regional corridor for gas transport between Latvia and Poland. To ensure the transport of large gas volumes over long distances, compressors need to increase the pressure in the pipeline every 93 to 155 miles (150 to 250 km). The new MOPICO unit for Jauniunai will compress natural gas to around 768 psi (53 bar), thereby increasing transmission capacity while operating on renewable electricity and ensuring zero direct CO₂ emissions during operation.
“This project with Everllence demonstrates how advanced technology and sustainability can be brought together,” said Mindaugas Zakaras, chief executive officer of MT Group. “By integrating renewable energy and zero-emission compression into Amber Grid’s network, we are modernizing critical infrastructure while shaping the foundation for a cleaner and more resilient energy future in Europe.”
The MOPICO compressor for Jauniunai is directly driven by an Everllence high-speed electric motor and supported by MECOS active magnetic bearings. The design eliminates the need for dry gas seals and lubrication systems.
MT Group, a European engineering, procurement, construction (EPC) contractor specializing in energy and industrial infrastructure, signed a US$42 million turnkey EPC contract with Amber Grid, Lithuania’s national gas transmission system operator, in September 2025.
The Jauniunai compressor station modernization and expansion project will deliver a 5 MW electric motor-driven natural gas compressor and all supporting infrastructure, including a 9 mile (15 km) high-voltage power line, civil works, roads, buildings, pipelines, commissioning, and integration into Lithuania’s national gas network. The new compressor will feature fully electric, zero direct emission operation, reducing greenhouse gas output while improving system reliability and flexibility.
The Jauniunai compressor station was placed into service in 2010 with three gas turbines with centrifugal compressors. The total capacity of the station is 34.5 MW.
