KBR awarded ammonia cracking contract

KBR says that they have been awarded a second ammonia cracking technology contract by Hanwha Impact Corporation for its clean power generation facility in Korea. Under the terms of the agreement, KBR will provide technology licensing, proprietary engineering design and equipment, and services for a 214 t/d hydrogen facility. The plant will use KBR’s proprietary H2ACT® ammonia cracking technology to produce clean hydrogen and contribute to Korea’s decarbonisation goals.

“We are grateful for the trust Hanwa has placed in KBR to support their growth plans,” said Jay Ibrahim, President, KBR Sustainable Technology Solutions. “KBR’s innovative H2ACT technology was previously selected by Hanwha for large-scale, sustainable hydrogen production and this new award utilizes a design intended to further enhance the cost-efficiency of the project.”

Price Trends

Ammonia values have continued to ease across most regions at the end of June, as the first ammonia vessels begin to exit the Gulf since the Iranian conflict began. Iranian ammonia had also begun to flow to India following the US Treasury’s issuance of a 60-day sanctions waiver on 22 June, allowing dollar-denominated trade in Iranian petrochemical products through 21 August. As a result, Indian bids have been heard as low as $750/t c.fr, as buyers benefit from a widening pool of available supply - Iranian, Chinese and renewed Southeast Asian material are all competing for the same business.
