據(jù)世界石油網(wǎng)2022年9月9日報(bào)道，美國大型能源公司凱洛格·布朗·路特（KBR）集團(tuán)公司時(shí)下正在開展一項(xiàng)研究，開發(fā)一種碳中和的綠色氨基系統(tǒng)，為世界最大的化學(xué)品航運(yùn)公司之一的挪威奧德費(fèi)爾公司（Odfjell）擁有的半潛式鉆井設(shè)備提供動(dòng)力。  

KBR將與奧德費(fèi)爾公司、挪威能源巨頭Equinor和芬蘭瓦錫蘭公司（W?rtsil?）合作，評估鉆井設(shè)備上的柴油發(fā)電機(jī)向氨燃料發(fā)電機(jī)的轉(zhuǎn)換。

KBR可持續(xù)技術(shù)解決方案總裁Jay Ibrahim表示：“我們很高興能夠成為合作努力的一部分，這將充分整合KBR的半潛式鉆機(jī)技術(shù)專長、瓦錫蘭公司的電力系統(tǒng)、奧德費(fèi)爾公司和Equinor的運(yùn)營能力，所有這些都將提供一個(gè)碳中和的解決方案。”“這個(gè)項(xiàng)目展示了氨氣在現(xiàn)有資產(chǎn)脫碳和實(shí)現(xiàn)凈零目標(biāo)方面的作用。我們?yōu)橥苿?dòng)關(guān)鍵市場的積極變化、創(chuàng)新和改進(jìn)感到自豪，并為支持整個(gè)行業(yè)的客戶轉(zhuǎn)向更清潔的燃料選擇感到自豪。”

KBR是世界領(lǐng)先的氨許可證頒發(fā)商，KBR的K-GreeN?技術(shù)生產(chǎn)基于電解水的無碳氨。K-GreeN是一種可行的、可再生的海上和航運(yùn)業(yè)脫碳替代品。

30多年來，KBR一直在為Equinor和奧德費(fèi)爾公司提供海上技術(shù)、工程和原始半潛式鉆機(jī)設(shè)計(jì)支持。

KBR to study using green ammonia to power generators on drill rig

KBR is launching a study to develop a carbon-neutral, green ammonia-based system to power a semi-submersible drilling unit owned by Odfjell.

KBR will collaborate with Odfjell, Equinor and W?rtsil? to assess conversion of the diesel generators on board drilling units to ammonia-fueled generators.

"We are excited to be a part of a collaborative effort that will fully integrate KBR's semisubmersible technology expertise, W?rtsil?'s power systems, and Odfjell's and Equinor's operations 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 decarbonizing existing assets and achieving net-zero targets. We pride ourselves in 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."

KBR is a world-leading ammonia licensor and KBR's K-GreeN? technology produces carbon-free ammonia based on electrolysis of water. K-GreeN is a viable, renewable alternative to decarbonizing the maritime and shipping industries. 

KBR has been supporting Equinor and Odfjell for more than three decades with marine technology, engineering and original semi-submersible designs.
