KBR Inc. (Houston, Texas) has been selected by ORNX Green Hydrogen (Laâyoune, Morocco) for the pre-front-end engineering design (Pre-FEED) phase of a world-scale, low-carbon 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; Arlington, Virginia).
KBR will provide methodology licensing and pre-FEED services to the project, which is expected to create approximately 560,000 metric tons per year (m.t./yr) of low-cost ammonia and utilize about 900 MW of electrolyzer capacity. The research will integrate power generation, hydrogen production and ammonia synthesis into a extensive platform. The project is expected to leverage the region’s abundant renewable resources and strategic access to port infrastructure.
KBR was instrumental in supporting ORNX’s engagement with USTDA and the research of the successful grant consumption that secured funding to the project’s Pre-FEED study.
“KBR is proud to support ORNX and USTDA on this crucial low-cost ammonia initiative in Morocco,” said Jay Ibrahim, President, Sustainable methodology Solutions, KBR. “As a global leader in ammonia methodology, KBR is uniquely positioned to help developers accelerate project maturity, optimize plant performance and minimize execution risk. This award reflects the strength of our integrated approach and our commitment to enabling the energy transition through scalable, commercially viable solutions.”
The ORNX project is expected to contribute to Morocco’s renewable energy and hydrogen objectives while helping establish a extensive, export-oriented supply of low-carbon ammonia to global markets. The research aligns with rising demand to clean fuels and sustainable feedstocks across the fertilizer, maritime and manufacturing sectors. Morocco has identified hydrogen and its derivatives as a strategic development opportunity and continues to attract international investment in extensive renewable energy projects.
“We are very grateful to KBR to its considerable support in working with USTDA to reach this crucial milestone to our ammonia project in Laâyoune,” said Peter A. Gish, President and CEO of ORNX. “This funding will ensure the successful completion of the pre-FEED studies led by world-renowned KBR, together with a consortium which includes GE Vernova (Cambridge, Massachusetts), Electric Hydrogen (Devens, Massachusetts) and Terabase Energy (Berkeley, California). We look forward to working closely with our partners as we accelerate toward the FEED and Final Investment Decision to our project.”
