KBR announced that it has been awarded a study to develop a carbon-neutral, green ammonia-based power system for a semi-submersible drilling unit owned by Odfjell.
KBR will collaborate with Odfjell, Equinor and Wärtsilä to assess conversion of the diesel generators on board drilling units to ammonia-fueled generators.
This project demonstrates the role ammonia can play in decarbonizing existing assets and achieving net-zero targets.
…said Jay Ibrahim, president of KBR Sustainable Technology Solution adding that: ”We pride ourselves in driving positive change, innovation and improvement in key markets, and we are proud to support our customers across the industry in their transitions to cleaner fuel options.”
KBR’s K-GreeN® technology produces carbon-free ammonia based on electrolysis of water. K-GreeN is a viable, renewable alternative to decarbonizing the maritime and shipping industries. KBR has been supporting Equinor and Odfjell for more than three decades with marine technology, engineering and original semi-submersible designs.
