KBR announced that it will provide technology license, engineering design, and Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) support services for Fortescue’s Holmaneset green ammonia plan, which is slated to be built off the coast of Norway.
Led by Australia-based Fortescue, the Holmaneset green energy project is expected to produce 675 mt/d of green ammonia using electrolyzers that will use renewable energy as a feedstock. The ammonia produced is expected to be shipped to domestic and European markets. Spain’s Técnicas Reunidas is also involved in the FEED study (GM Jan. 26, p. 28).
The European Union chose to significantly invest in the project in December 2023, awarding it a grant of €203.8 million as part of its Innovation Fund.
