KBR has signed an agreement with Korea-based ISU Chemical for a commercial ammonia cracking project to be based in Ulsan, Republic of Korea. The project will employ KBR’s innovative technology, H2ACT℠, which has rapidly emerged as the industry’s leading ammonia cracking technology.
The press release stated that KBR will provide licensing, proprietary engineering design, proprietary equipment, and catalyst for the planned ten MTPD hydrogen production unit, with operations scheduled to commence in the first half of 2026.
“We are happy to extend our collaboration with ISU Chemical to include this important project. This paves the way for the wider adoption of ammonia cracking for the production of hydrogen in support of the transition to a hydrogen economy,” said Doug Kelly, KBR President, Technology. He added, “KBR is continuing to lead energy transition projects globally, and along with ISU, we look forward to demonstrating the value of clean ammonia and hydrogen towards achieving our net zero targets”.
