Clean Hydrogen Works has awarded McDermott the front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract for the Ascension Clean Energy (ACE) Project, in Louisiana, USA.

The ACE project will initially produce 2.4 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of clean ammonia, with expansion in subsequent phases to 7.2 mtpa. With carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) contracts with ExxonMobil, regulatory approvals expected by early 2025, off-take in advanced discussions and Goldman Sachs as Financial Advisor, the ACE Project is expected to reach final investment decision by late 2025 and start production in 2029.

Johnny Cook, CHW senior vice president of engineering, procurement and construction says: ‘We are thrilled to partner with McDermott. This collaboration further strengthens key competitive advantages of our project, including being a mega module capable site with ready infrastructure access to gas, shipping and CCS, an unmatched shareholder base with expertise in CCS and maritime transport, and an experienced team with demonstrated success in executing mega module projects.’

Rob Shaul, McDermott’s senior vice president of low carbon solutions adds: ‘Our integrated delivery model, with self-perform construction capabilities and portfolio of McDermott-owned, globally diversified, module fabrication yards means we can offer CHW a repeatable modular implementation solution that is expected to maximise value, reduce risk and provide quality assurance.’
