KBR on Oct. 3 announced that it has been awarded a technology contract by Tecnimont S.p.A. for OCI NV’s low-carbon blue ammonia project in the United States. KBR will supply the technology license, basic engineering design, proprietary equipment, and catalyst for the 1.1 million mt/y blue ammonia plant in Beaumont, Texas (GM Sept. 9, p. 1).
Targeting completion by 2025, the project will be designed to transition from blue to green ammonia production as green hydrogen becomes available at larger scale in the future.
