The Inter-American Development Bank has awarded a study to KBR to assist in the development of a green hydrogen market in Trinidad and Tobago.
According to the contract, KBR will conduct supply and demand dynamics for green hydrogen generation, transportation, and end use applications in Trinidad and Tobago in order to maximize opportunities for a green hydrogen economy.
As part of the study, researchers will look for opportunities to develop a low carbon economy through technological innovation. Green hydrogen production and repurposing existing facilities for low-carbon hydrogen will be examined in this study. A technical implementation plan will be recommended as part of the assessment.
KBR will work with the National Energy Corporation of Trinidad and Tobago Limited (National Energy) and other key stakeholders to identify areas for development in existing infrastructure and policy, with a focus on innovative approaches to advance sustainable growth in this sector—helping diversify its economy..
“This study builds on KBR’s proud history of supporting Trinidad and Tobago’s advancing focus on clean energy solutions – establishing itself as a leader in the regional hydrogen economy,” said Jay Ibrahim, President, Sustainable Technology Solutions, KBR.
“The recent COP26 Summit brought into focus the threat of climate change on island nations. The opportunity to help the country meet its carbon reduction and sustainability targets firmly aligns with KBRs commitment of driving innovative solutions to support sustainability.”
KBR has been an industry leader in the energy transition for many years, providing proprietary sustainable technologies and professional services to clients in order to support decarbonization. Throughout the hydrogen value chain, KBR has been involved as both a technology provider and an advisor, as well as a project delivery company.
