McDermott Collaborates on Green Hydrogen and Ammonia Project in Central Newfoundland
Key Ideas
  • McDermott will lead the FEED study and provide EPC services for a green hydrogen and ammonia project in Central Newfoundland, Canada.
  • The project aims to produce 165kta of hydrogen and 5,000 tonnes of ammonia per day, along with wind and solar power generation capabilities.
  • The collaboration is expected to drive cost savings, reduce risks, and ensure quality assurance through McDermott's expertise and integrated delivery model.
  • McDermott was previously selected in 2022 for a similar project, the green hydrogen import terminal project in the Netherlands.
McDermott has entered into an agreement with Abraxas Power Corporation's Exploits Valley Renewable Energy Corporation (EVREC) to provide delivery and installation expertise for a green hydrogen and ammonia production project in Central Newfoundland, Canada. The project is set to have a production capacity of 165kta of hydrogen and 5,000 tonnes of ammonia daily. McDermott will undertake the front-end engineering design (FEED) study, engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services, and open book EPC cost estimate for hydrogen production, ammonia processing, and product storage. In addition to hydrogen and ammonia production, the project will also involve the development of wind farms with 530 turbines capable of generating 3.5GW of electricity and 150MW of solar photovoltaic power. Rob Shaul, McDermott's Senior Vice-President of Low Carbon Solutions, emphasized the company's experience and integrated delivery model as key factors that could drive cost savings, mitigate risks, and ensure quality for Abraxas. The project's activities will be primarily managed from McDermott's Houston office, with support from its Gurgaon office in India. This collaboration follows McDermott's previous selection in 2022 to conduct a FEED study for Gunvor Petroleum Rotterdam's green hydrogen import terminal project in the Netherlands.
