KBR to Develop Kuwait's Renewable Energy and Green Hydrogen Masterplan
Key Ideas
  • KBR awarded a consulting contract by Kuwait Oil Company to develop a masterplan for 17GW of renewables and 25GW of green hydrogen by 2050.
  • The project aims to link renewable power generation with green hydrogen production for internal use and export, with competitive hydrogen cost targets by 2032.
  • Kuwait plans to increase renewable energy production to 50% by 2050 and is making efforts to attract investors and accelerate renewable projects.
  • Green hydrogen in Kuwait is more competitive than in other regions, but faces challenges in cost competitiveness with traditional fossil fuels without carbon taxes.
KBR has been awarded a consulting contract by Kuwait Oil Company to develop a country-wide masterplan for the production of 17GW of renewables and 25GW of green hydrogen by 2050. The project involves providing advisory services for the deployment of wind and solar power integrated with power storage, aiming to produce green hydrogen for industrial use and export. Kuwait aims to achieve competitive green hydrogen costs by 2032 and increase renewable energy production to 50% by 2050. While Kuwait's green hydrogen is more competitive regionally, challenges remain in cost competitiveness with traditional fuels. KBR's expertise in energy transition investments and technology deployment is set to support Kuwait's efforts in renewable energy development.
