TOYO, MODEC secure ABS approval for Blue Ammonia FPSO

The Blue Ammonia FPSO uses CCS technology to capture CO₂ from ammonia production process and gas turbine generators.

Modec and Toyo Engineering (TOYO) have received approval in principle (AiP) from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) for a Blue Ammonia Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) unit.

Based on class and statutory needs, ABS completed design reviews for the FPSO.

Blue ammonia is a low-carbon ammonia produced by combining nitrogen with hydrogen, which is sourced as a byproduct of captured and stored carbon dioxide.

The Blue Ammonia FPSO is designed to produce ammonia by utilising associated gas supplied by a nearby oil and gas FPSO.

It integrates carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology to capture CO₂ emissions from both the ammonia production process and gas turbine generators, minimising overall emissions.

The FPSO’s hull, developed in collaboration with Mitsubishi Shipbuilding is designed for ammonia storage and offloading.
