Shell advances hydrogen, ammonia project

Shell has selected consulting and engineering firm Wood to deliver pre-FEED services for Oman’s Blue Horizons hydrogen and ammonia project.

The project will produce low carbon blue hydrogen and ammonia for local and international markets and will capture and store CO2 from production. The development is expected to be the first large-scale project of its kind in Oman.

Wood said it will use its specialist CO2 and blue hydrogen expertise to design the integrated blue hydrogen and ammonia production facility, marine facilities including ammonia storage, 200 km pipeline and CO2 injection facility.

“The innovative Blue Horizons project will serve as a catalyst to Oman’s adoption of zero-carbon fuels,” said Giuseppe Zuccaro, President of Process & Chemicals at Wood. “We are delighted to work with Shell to deliver this pre-FEED package, combining our in-country capability and global subject matter expertise to drive progress on this exciting initiative.“

Wood will leverage global teams across the United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, India and Oman to deliver this contract, which is expected to be completed in 2025.
