Oman's Hydrogen and Ammonia Project with KBR's Technology
Key Ideas
- Shell selects KBR's ammonia synthesis loop technology for the Blue Horizons project in Duqm, Oman, aiming to produce low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia.
- KBR will provide engineering design for a 3,000 metric tons per day ammonia plant utilizing hydrogen from Shell's blue hydrogen technology, contributing to Oman's Vision 2040 targets.
- Oman's goal is to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, with plans to produce renewable hydrogen and ammonia, aiming for 1 million tonnes by 2030 and up to 8.5 million tonnes by 2050.
- KBR was also awarded a contract by Kuwait Oil Company to develop a masterplan for the production of 17 GW of renewables and 25 GW of green hydrogen by 2050, involving wind, solar power, and green hydrogen production.
Shell has chosen KBR's ammonia synthesis loop technology for its Blue Horizons project in Duqm, Oman. KBR will provide engineering design for a 3,000 metric tons per day ammonia plant using hydrogen from Shell's blue hydrogen technology. This collaboration aims to contribute to Oman's Vision 2040 targets and the country's goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050. Oman plans to produce significant amounts of renewable hydrogen and ammonia in the coming decades. In a separate initiative, KBR has been awarded a contract by Kuwait Oil Company to develop a masterplan for producing 17 GW of renewables and 25 GW of green hydrogen by 2050. The plan includes the deployment of wind and solar power with storage capability, linking renewable power generation to green hydrogen production for industrial and export purposes. KBR's involvement in both projects highlights its role in supporting energy transition and the shift towards sustainable energy sources in the region.
