KBR has been awarded a technology and engineering contract by IGNIS for a new green ammonia facility in A Coruña, Spain.

Under the terms of the contract, KBR will provide proprietary engineering design and pre-FEED engineering services to IGNIS for a 200,000 tons per annum green ammonia plant. The facility will use renewable energy to produce green hydrogen, which will be converted to green ammonia. Green ammonia, a key element for producing renewable fertilizers, can be used as a highly efficient storage and transport medium for renewable energy and as a clean fuel.

“We are proud to support IGNIS in harnessing Spain’s exceptional renewable energy resources to produce green ammonia for domestic and European markets,” said Jay Ibrahim, President, KBR Sustainable Technology Solutions. “KBR’s green ammonia solutions, along with complementary technologies such as H2ACT^® ammonia cracking, make us a global leader in delivering reliable and energy-efficient ammonia technology at a lower capital cost.”
