H2 View understands the facility will be based within the GCC region and reinforces its focus to emerge as a leader in low carbon fuels by capitalising on ammonia as a vector for clean hydrogen.

The contract will ensure KBR provide the technology license, basic engineering design, proprietary equipment and catalyst for the plant.

Doug Kelly, KBR President, said, “This project will be amongst the first large energy transition projects to come onstream in the world and we are excited to be part of this journey with several global industry leaders.”

KBR claims to be a ‘world leader’ in ammonia technology with approximately 50% market share of licensed capacity. The company states it has license, engineered or constructed over 250 grassroot ammonia plants worldwide since 1943.

KBR was recently selected by Enaex for its Chilean green ammonia project, HyEx. Its K-GreeN® technology will be used in the project that aims to demonstrate operational stability of production of green ammonia using renewable energy from photovoltaic power plants.

Last year, the company launched its ‘mega 10,000 MTPD’ blue and green ammonia offering to help meet rising sustainability energy and fertiliser demands.

The new offering leverages KBR’s experience in capacity scale-up and integrates its implemented designs with advanced digital technologies to provide owners the reliability, flexibility and scale required to deliver clean ammonia and hydrogen demands for the energy transition.
