September 20, 2024 [PNewswire]- McDermott and BW Offshore have entered into a collaboration to advance the technical and commercial viability of offshore blue ammonia production. This strategic partnership aims to enable a viable pathway for offshore blue ammonia production, contributing to the global transition to low-carbon energy sources, and reinforcing both companies’ commitment to sustainable energy practices.
The collaboration will leverage the combined expertise of McDermott and BW Offshore to advance the development of low carbon ammonia production aboard a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) facility. FPSOs have the potential to unlock multiple benefits for ammonia production, including advantages in environmental, health and safety, schedule certainty, and competitive levelized costs of ammonia.
BW Offshore will contribute its leading expertise in FPSO solutions and apply an innovative approach to offshore production facilities. Its commitment to advancing the energy transition through sustainable technologies makes it an ideal partner for this project.
McDermott brings extensive experience in engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) across the energy sector and will contribute its deep technical knowledge and project execution capabilities and leverage its global fabrication assets and modularized solutions.
“This is a unique collaboration that makes important strides to progress the energy transition by advancing a viable pathway for offshore blue ammonia production,” said Vaseem Khan, Senior Vice President, Global Operations at McDermott. “Our offshore module design and fabrication capabilities and low carbon process expertise fits perfectly with BW Offshore’s FPSO know-how, and we are aligned in our commitment to developing sustainable energy and progressing the energy transition.”
“Harnessing McDermott’s one hundred years of offshore expertise and relationships with leading technology providers, as well as BW Offshore’s leading FPSO technology, we aim to advance offshore blue ammonia production. This collaboration with McDermott underscores our mutual commitment to sustainable energy solutions,” said Fredrik Savio, Business Unit Manager, New Ventures and Technology at BW Offshore.
