Shell has partnered with Wood to deliver pre-FEED services for Oman's innovative 'Blue Horizons' project, which will focus on producing low carbon blue hydrogen and ammonia for both local and international markets. The project also includes plans to capture and store CO2 from production, making it a pioneering initiative in Oman. Wood will leverage its CO2 and blue hydrogen expertise to design an integrated production facility for hydrogen and ammonia, along with marine facilities, a pipeline, and a CO2 injection facility. Giuseppe Zuccaro, President of Process & Chemicals at Wood, sees this project as pivotal in Oman's shift towards zero-carbon fuels. The collaboration between Shell and Wood aims to drive progress in this exciting venture, expected to be completed by 2025. Global teams from various countries will come together to bring their specialized knowledge to the table, highlighting the international cooperation involved in this sustainable project.
