KBR is launching a examine to develop a carbon-neutral, inexperienced ammonia-based system to energy a semi-submersible drilling unit owned by Odfjell.
KBR will collaborate with Odfjell, Equinor and Wärtsilä to evaluate conversion of the diesel turbines on board drilling items to ammonia-fueled turbines.
“We’re excited to be part of a collaborative effort that may absolutely combine KBR’s semisubmersible know-how experience, Wärtsilä’s energy techniques, and Odfjell’s and Equinor’s operations capabilities, all to ship a carbon-neutral answer,” mentioned Jay Ibrahim, president of KBR Sustainable Know-how Options. “This undertaking demonstrates the function ammonia can play in decarbonizing present property and attaining net-zero targets. We pleasure ourselves in driving optimistic change, innovation and enchancment in key markets, and we’re proud to assist our prospects throughout the business of their transitions to cleaner gas choices.”
KBR is a world-leading ammonia licensor and KBR’s Ok-GreeN® know-how produces carbon-free ammonia based mostly on electrolysis of water. Ok-GreeN is a viable, renewable various to decarbonizing the maritime and transport industries.
KBR has been supporting Equinor and Odfjell for greater than three many years with marine know-how, engineering and authentic semi-submersible designs.
