io to support the development of NewGen’s hydrogen facility in Trinidad

io will provide early-stage engineering and design services prior to final FEED award for the new hydrogen plant including execution of the assessment of electrolyser supplier proposals received in response to a NewGen Request for Quotation (RFQ) inviting offers for technology supply.

This decision follows the conclusion of an evaluation of proposals submitted by several internationally renowned engineering contractors, which were received in response to a Request for Proposal (RFP) for FEED services issued in 2Q2021.

The new hydrogen plant is being built around the concept of capturing waste heat from industrial power generation facilities currently located in the Point Lisas Industrial Estate and converting said heat into electrical power to be used for the electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen. Other sources of green renewable power are also being secured, and new sources developed.

This carbon-neutral hydrogen will be used by the local Tringen ammonia facility to decarbonise its existing operations and provide a new source of hydrogen for ammonia production. The NewGen plant will provide some 20% additional hydrogen feedstock required for the ammonia plant, becoming one of the first commercially viable new hydrogen production facilities globally.

io is commencing its FEED-related work with NewGen by initiating the final selection of a suitable electrolyser technology supplier, since the electrolyser OEM supply is a major component of the design for the overall NewGen facility.
