ABS awards Approval in Principle to MODEC and Toyo Engineering for blue ammonia FPSO with CCS

MODEC and Toyo Engineering have jointly obtained an Approval in Principle (AiP) from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) for a Blue Ammonia Floating Production Storage and Offloading that will produce ammonia from the gas supplied by Oil & Gas FPSO located nearby.

This Blue Ammonia FPSO is intended to produce and store blue ammonia by using associated gas which has conventionally been reinjected into the reservoir without specific applications. The FPSO is also equipped with Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) facility to capture not only CO2 generated in the process of converting associated gas to ammonia (NH3), but also CO2 from gas turbine generators (GTG). This makes it possible to minimize CO2 emissions from the FPSO during ammonia production.

The hull, which stores and offtakes the produced ammonia, was developed in collaboration with Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.

This joint development is positioned as the first “Concept Design of Floating Alternative Energy Production Facility” as stated in the Mid-term Business Plan 2024-2026 “Explore a Sustainable Future with Innovation”. The concept of producing blue ammonia offshore is achieved by combining MODEC’s expertise in overall layout, hull design and mooring technology, cultivated in Oil & Gas FPSO projects, with TOYO’s expertise in ammonia production process design and FPSO equipment design. This blue ammonia is expected to serve as an alternative fuel and hydrogen carrier in the energy transition.
