McDermott, BW Offshore enter blue ammonia partnership

McDermott and BW Offshore have formed a collaboration to foster the technical and commercial implementation of offshore blue ammonia production.

The companies say that they will work to advance the development of a low carbon ammonia production system aboard an FPSO vessel.

According to McDermott, the benefits FPSOs can provide include environmental, health and safety, schedule certainty, and competitive levelized cost advantages for ammonia.

BW Offshore will contribute its experience in FPSOs while McDermott brings EPCI strengths across the energy sector and project execution capabilities, drawing on its global fabrication sites and modularized solutions.
