KBR wins contract in Kuwait for renewable, green hydrogen masterplan

Global services company KBR has been awarded an advisory consulting contract by Kuwait Oil Company to develop a country-wide masterplan to produce 17 GW of renewables and 25 GW of green hydrogen by 2050, the company announced on July 18.

Under the contract, KBR will provide advisory consulting services to develop a phased strategy for deploying wind and solar power, combined with power storage capabilities. The renewable power will be linked to the production of green hydrogen for internal industrial use and export purposes.

The project, expected to be performed over the next 18 months, includes market analysis, techno-commercial feasibility studies, and the training of Kuwaiti nationals.

Last year, KBR’s ammonia technology was selected for a large-scale 1mn tonnes/year low-carbon ammonia facility in the Middle East GCC region.
