Wood to Conduct Pre-FEED Study for Shell's Blue Horizons Project in Oman
Key Ideas
- Wood selected to deliver a pre-FEED study for Shell's Blue Horizons project in Oman to produce low-carbon blue hydrogen and ammonia for markets while capturing and storing CO2.
- Global teams from the UK, Ireland, Italy, India, and Oman to be involved in the project, expected to be completed in 2025.
- Wood to design the production facility, marine facilities, 200km pipeline, and CO2 injection facility leveraging its CO2 and blue hydrogen expertise.
- The project aims to catalyze Oman's adoption of zero-carbon fuels and contribute to sustainability efforts with the collaboration between Wood and Shell.
Wood has been chosen to conduct a pre-front-end engineering design (pre-FEED) study for Shell's Blue Horizons project in Oman, with the goal of producing low-carbon blue hydrogen and ammonia for both local and international markets. The project will also focus on capturing and storing the CO2 emissions produced during the process. Wood, a global company, plans to utilize its teams from the UK, Ireland, Italy, India, and Oman to carry out the project, which is projected to be finished by 2025. The company will employ its expertise in CO2 and blue hydrogen to develop various aspects of the project, including the production facility, marine facilities, pipeline, and CO2 injection facility. Giuseppe Zuccaro, President of Process & Chemicals at Wood, expressed enthusiasm for the innovative Blue Horizons project, highlighting its potential to drive Oman's transition to zero-carbon fuels. Additionally, Wood recently announced its involvement in a separate FEED study for Centrica's hydrogen storage project in the UK, demonstrating the company's commitment to advancing sustainable energy solutions and supporting the industry's evolution towards cleaner practices.
