KBR's Green Ammonia Technology Chosen for Fortescue's Green Energy Project in Norway

KBR’s green ammonia technology has been selected for Fortescue’s green energy project in Norway. Set to produce 675 tonnes per day of green ammonia, KBR’s K-GreeN® technology will be implemented into the Holmaneset project.

Under the agreement, KBR will also provide technology license, proprietary engineering design, and front-end engineering design (FEED) support services.

The President of KBR Sustainable Technology Solutions, Jay Ibrahim said, “KBR is a significant contributor in the development of the green energy value chain and decarbonisation of hard-to-abate industries, and we look forward to working with Fortescue to advance their ESG objectives.”

In addition to this project, KBR was awarded an engineering services contract by First State Hydrogen last week. KBR will support the feasibility and development of a clean hydrogen production facility in the US mid-Atlantic region.

“This award highlights KBR’s extensive and innovative clean hydrogen expertise, in providing solutions that matter and our strategic commitment to the energy transition,” added Ibrahim.

Dora Cheatham, Vice-President Sales and Commercialisation at First State Hydrogen, commented, “This is an important step for First State Hydrogen as we start laying the groundwork for a clean hydrogen facility that will drive our mission to responsibly and safely advance the clean hydrogen economy and create a more sustainable future.”

Earlier this year (2024), KBR’s tech was selected by a consortium for a Malaysian green ammonia project located in Sarawak.

KBR will also provide the technology license and engineering design for the Lotte Chemical H2biscus project, which is expected to produce 800 KTA of green ammonia via hydropower.
