KBR, a leading provider of technology and engineering services, has announced it has been awarded an advisory consulting contract by Kuwait Oil Company for the development of a country-wide masterplan for the production of 17GW of renewables and 25GW of green hydrogen by 2050.
Under the terms of the contract, KBR will provide advisory consulting services to develop a phased strategy for the deployment of significant wind and solar power, combined with power storage capability, said the company in a statement.
