KBR will collaborate with Odfjell, Equinor and Wärtsilä to evaluate the conversion of the diesel generators on board the semi-submersible drilling units, to generators powered by green and carbon neutral ammonia.
“We are excited to be part of a collaborative effort that will fully integrate KBR’s semi-submersible technology expertise, Wärtsilä’s power systems, and Odfjell and Equinor’s operational capabilities, all to deliver a carbon-neutral solution,” said Jay Ibrahim. , President of KBR Sustainable Technology Solutions.
“This project demonstrates the role ammonia can play in decarbonising existing assets and achieving net zero targets. We pride ourselves on driving positive change, innovation and improvement in key markets, and we are proud to support our customers across the industry in their transitions to cleaner fuel options,” added Ibrahim.
