KBR announced that its blue ammonia technology has been selected by Shell for the Blue Horizons low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia project in Duqm, Oman. This facility will utilize KBR’s advanced ammonia synthesis loop technology to produce cost-effective, low-carbon intensity ammonia.
Under the contract terms, KBR will provide licensed proprietary engineering design for the 3,000 metric tons per day ammonia plant, which will utilize hydrogen produced by Shell’s Blue Hydrogen technology.
“We are excited to work with Shell on this breakthrough project in Oman and contribute towards achieving Oman’s Vision 2040 targets,” said Jay Ibrahim, President of KBR Sustainable Technology Solutions. “Our blue ammonia technology allows our clients to implement their energy transition projects with a cost-competitive solution at the lowest carbon intensity.”
KBR, a global leader in ammonia technology, has been at the forefront of innovation in the ammonia market for decades. Since 1943, KBR has licensed, engineered, or constructed nearly 260 grassroots ammonia plants worldwide.
