KBR revealed that it has been awarded a study to help establish a green hydrogen market in Trinidad and Tobago as part of an ongoing technical cooperation financed by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).

Under the terms of the contract, KBR will analyze strategies for maximizing opportunities to establish a green hydrogen economy in Trinidad and Tobago, undertaking supply and demand dynamics for green hydrogen generation, transportation, and end use applications.

The study will identify opportunities for the development of a low carbon economy, with a roadmap to Net Zero through technological innovation. It will assess the potential for green hydrogen production as well as the repurposing of the existing facilities for low carbon hydrogen. The assessment will include recommendations for a technical implementation plan.

KBR will work with 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."
