Linde Engineering has been awarded the Front End Engineering and Design FEED contract by NH3 Clean Energy Limited for its planned WAH2 clean ammonia project, marking a key milestone in the project’s advancement.
The award follows a competitive process in which NH3 received multiple proposals from leading engineering companies to undertake FEED engineering for the WAH2 Project. Linde Engineering has been selected as the FEED engineering partner.
During the FEED phase, both companies will collaborate to mature plans for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction EPC delivery of WAH2 Project elements, where the inclusion of the construction portion is subject to identification and successful partnering with a suitable construction contractor. In parallel, they will evaluate a range of possible commercial and delivery models for the project, including future EPC, Build Own Operate BOO and Operations and Maintenance O&M options. BOO and O&M solutions would offer NH3 the opportunity to reduce capital requirements, reduce exposure to construction risk and access proven, world class operating experience.
NH3 Chairman Charles Whitfield commented that the appointment of Linde to deliver FEED is a landmark milestone for the WAH2 project and demonstrates the prominent position of the project in the ammonia fuel industry. He also highlighted Linde’s vast experience in the construction, commissioning and operation of hydrogen and ammonia plants globally.
In parallel with the FEED, NH3 will continue evaluating potential Build Own Operate and Operations and Maintenance models as part of selecting the future execution pathway. The company has also demonstrated strong confidence in customer demand from MOL and ITOCHU, its approvals pathway, and its financing and execution options.
