Worley, a global engineering company, has been awarded the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services contract for ExxonMobil's groundbreaking low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia facility in Baytown, Texas. This facility, scheduled to be the world's largest of its kind upon startup, is poised to produce up to 28.3 million metres of low-carbon hydrogen daily and nearly one million tonnes of ammonia annually. The project's success is contingent on a final investment decision, supportive government policies, and necessary regulatory permits. Worley's CEO, Chris Ashton, expressed enthusiasm about continuing the strategic relationship with ExxonMobil and contributing significantly to strengthening Worley's backlog through this EPC project on the US Gulf Coast. The Baytown plant has garnered investments from Air Liquide, Mitsubishi Corporation, and ADNOC, with plans to reach the final investment decision next year and commence operations in 2029. Wood Mackenzie forecasts that the US will emerge as a global leader in blue hydrogen production by 2025, with several large-scale projects including the Baytown plant expected to progress to FID. The market trend is seen shifting towards blue hydrogen, surpassing green hydrogen, with the US holding the largest post-FID blue hydrogen capacity globally. Trump's election victory is viewed as a catalyst solidifying the outlook for blue hydrogen, potentially influencing US public policy and market dynamics in favor of blue hydrogen over green hydrogen in the near future.
