In the UK, Fuel Cell Works reported that KBR announced that it has been selected by ORNX Green Hydrogen for the pre-front-end engineering design (Pre-FEED) phase of a world-scale, low cost ammonia project planned for the Laâyoune region of Morocco. The study is being supported through funding from the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA).
The report stated that KBR will provide technology licensing and pre-FEED services for the project, which is expected to produce approximately 560,000 metric tons per year of low-cost ammonia and utilize about 900 MW of electrolyzer capacity.
The development will integrate power generation, hydrogen production and ammonia synthesis into a large-scale platform. The project is expected to leverage the region’s abundant renewable resources and strategic access to port infrastructure, it added.
The ORNX project is expected to contribute to Morocco’s renewable energy and hydrogen objectives while helping establish a large-scale, export-oriented supply of low-carbon ammonia for global markets.
