KBR announced on Feb. 6 that its green ammonia technology, K-GreeN®, has been selected by Enaex AS for its HyEx green ammonia project in Chile. Previous reports have put the ammonia plant capacity at 18,000 mt/y (GM April 29, 2022; Aug. 27, 2021). Toyo Engineering Corp. will undertake front-end engineering and design (FEED) work based on KBR’s proprietary technology and basic engineering design.
“We are thrilled to be part of this project that will demonstrate Chile’s potential to harness renewable energy for green ammonia production,” said Doug Kelly, KBR President, Technology. “The innovative concepts that will be incorporated in this project will achieve industrial scale production of green ammonia using renewable energy from photovoltaic and wind power.”
