KBR announced that its blue ammonia technology has been selected by Shell for its Blue Horizons low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia project in Duqm, Oman.
The facility will use KBR's ammonia synthesis loop technology to deliver cost-competitive, low-carbon intensity ammonia. Under the contract, KBR will provide licensed proprietary engineering design for a 3,000 metric tons per day ammonia plant using 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.
KBR said its blue ammonia technology allows clients to implement energy transition projects with a cost-competitive solution at the lowest carbon intensity.
KBR said it has licensed, engineered or constructed nearly 260 grassroots ammonia plants worldwide since 1943.
