American engineering firm KBR has been selected to carry out the pre-FEED (Front End Engineering Design) studies for the green ammonia project in Laayoune, Morocco, developed by ORNX Green Hydrogen. The announcement was made on August 15, 2026.
The project aims to produce green ammonia using renewable energy sources, positioning Morocco as a key player in the global green hydrogen market. The pre-FEED phase will help define the technical and economic parameters of the project before moving to the FEED stage.
KBR's involvement brings extensive experience in ammonia technology and project management, which is expected to accelerate the development timeline. The company has a strong track record in delivering large-scale energy projects worldwide.
This milestone underscores the progress of Morocco's green energy strategy, which targets significant renewable energy capacity and aims to export green hydrogen and derivatives to Europe and other markets.
