The plant, sponsored by New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), a national research and development agency in Japan, was successfully commissioned in early 2026. The teamwork and collaboration between JGC and KBR, both key players in the green ammonia segment, has led to the success of the project. JGC provided engineering and construction services, and now owns and operates the facility, and KBR licensed the green ammonia technology and provided proprietary equipment for this project. The journey began in 2022 when the technology contract was awarded, followed by a two-year engineering and construction phase led by JGC, and this year the commissioning was complete and early production began. The plant showcases the Integrated Control System, developed by JGC and Asahi Kasei, to manage hydrogen production as well as KBR’s K-GreeN’s Advanced Process Control and proprietary equipment.
