KBR will provide consultancy services for a wind and solar deployment strategy combined with energy storage capabilities.
The green hydrogen will be destined for domestic industrial use and export.
A Strategy Designed for Kuwait
The contract stipulates that KBR will develop a multi-phase strategy for the deployment of renewable energies, including both wind and solar power.
These renewable electricity generation capacities will be integrated with the production of green hydrogen, intended not only to meet domestic industrial needs, but also to be exported to other markets.
This initiative aims to support Kuwait’s energy transition and strengthen its position in the international hydrogen market.
The work, planned over the next 18 months, will include market analysis, technical and commercial feasibility studies and training for Kuwaiti nationals.
KBR will play a crucial role in advising on best practices to maximize the efficiency and economic viability of this ambitious project.
Strengthening KBR’s Presence in Kuwait
Jay Ibrahim, President of KBR Sustainable Technology Solutions, expressed his enthusiasm for the project.
“We are delighted to be involved in this major national strategy in Kuwait, as we continue to strengthen our presence in the country,” he said.
“This win highlights our consulting capabilities in developing major energy transition investments, backed by decades of successful project delivery and technology deployment in the GCC region.”
KBR, with extensive experience in energy transition and sustainable technologies, is committed to providing solutions that promote sustainability and energy efficiency.
This initiative also reflects KBR’s strategic commitment to Kuwait and its ongoing support for the global energy transition.
Impact and prospects
Kuwait’s green hydrogen project is part of a global trend towards cleaner, more sustainable energy sources.
With growing demand for green energy solutions, Kuwait could become a key player in the hydrogen market, supported by its investment in renewable energies.
The collaboration between KBR and Kuwait Oil Company could also serve as a model for other countries in the region, demonstrating how strategic partnerships can accelerate the transition to sustainable energy sources.
In addition, the development of local skills through training provided by KBR will help create a skilled workforce ready to support the country’s future energy initiatives.
This large-scale project promises to transform Kuwait’s energy landscape, aligning the country with global goals to reduce carbon emissions and promote renewable energy.
