Revolutionary hydrogen production for sustainable energy
KBR, Inc. secures contract for groundbreaking ammonia-cracking project.
KBR, Inc., based in Houston, has been granted a license and engineering design contract by Hanwha Impact Corp for a pioneering ammonia-cracking unit in Daesan, Republic of Korea. This venture marks a historic milestone as the world's first commercial ammonia cracking unit powered by KBR's cutting-edge H2ACT technology. The project aims to produce clean hydrogen to fuel a planned power plant in Daesan, setting the stage for large-scale sustainable hydrogen utilization—a crucial step towards global decarbonization goals.
Under the agreement, KBR will provide technology licensing and exclusive engineering design for the unit, which is anticipated to yield more than 200 metric tons of clean hydrogen daily. Doug Kelly, President of Technology at KBR, expressed the company's honor in being chosen for this flagship project, emphasizing the pivotal role of H2ACT technology in efficient and sustainable large-scale hydrogen production.
KBR boasts a rich legacy in ammonia technology, having licensed and designed over 250 ammonia plants worldwide since 1943. With this monumental project, KBR's expertise and H2ACT innovation will play a significant role in advancing Hanwha's decarbonization objectives and contributing to Korea's national sustainability endeavors.
In conclusion, KBR's involvement in the world's first commercial ammonia-cracking unit underscores the importance of innovative technology in achieving sustainable energy solutions. This groundbreaking project not only aligns with global decarbonization efforts but also reinforces KBR's leadership in the ammonia industry.
