US' KBR wins contract for Kazakhstan's first SAF production plant.

US' KBR wins contract for Kazakhstan's first SAF production plant. 25 Aug '26 Pic: Generated by ChatGPT Insights. * KBR has secured a contract from KMG-Aero and KazFoodProducts for Kazakhstan's first sustainable aviation fuel plant. * The deal covers licensing of PureSAF technology and proprietary engineering design using an alcohol-to-jet route. * The project is intended to use domestic agricultural feedstocks in low-carbon fuel value chains, aligned with Kazakhstan's aviation hub ambitions. KBR (NYSE: KBR) announced it has been awarded a contract by KazMunayGas-Aero LLP (KMG-Aero), a subsidiary of NC KazMunayGas JSC, and KazFoodProducts (KFP) for Kazakhstan's first Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production plant. Under the terms of the contract, KBR will license the proprietary PureSAF(R) technology, invented and developed by Swedish Biofuels AB, and provide proprietary engineering design. The plant will leverage the alcohol-to-jet (AtJ) process for producing aviation fuel from alcohol-based feedstocks. The project holds significant strategic importance as it supports the President of Kazakhstan's directive to transform the country into an international aviation hub with strong transit potential. It will also enable the integration of domestically produced agricultural feedstocks into high-value, low-carbon fuel production value chains. "We are honored to support KMG-Aero and KFP in advancing the national commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, recognizing the pivotal role of aviation decarbonization in achieving these strategic objectives," said Jay Ibrahim, President, KBR Sustainable Technology Solutions. "KBR's PureSAF is a feed-flexible, bankable technology that is designed to deliver high SAF yields and supports the project across the full lifecycle. We look forward to closely collaborating and supporting the successful execution of this landmark SAF project."

North bolsters security infrastructure at HM Naval Base Portsmouth.

North bolsters security infrastructure at HM Naval Base Portsmouth. Posted on Friday, August 21, 2026 - 10:36 North has secured a major contract to upgrade surveillance capabilities at HM Naval Base Portsmouth, after being selected by KBR Maritime, the KBR-BAE Systems joint venture. The programme will deliver a fully secure video surveillance and analytics refresh intended to bolster operational awareness and strengthen security at the Royal Navy's home base, creating a safer and more resilient environment for Royal Navy personnel, contractors and visitors at the defence location. The investment forms part of the government's response to the 2025 Strategic Defence Review (SDR), which calls for a stronger focus on UK homeland defence, greater warfighting readiness, and enhanced protection of critical military sites. The programme will bolster infrastructure against emerging physical and cyber threats, while introducing advanced technologies to safeguard key national assets, personnel and strategic facilities. The measures will also support a more resilient Royal Navy amid heightened global security challenges. The contract will see North design and deliver a refresh of the base's video surveillance estate, including a new secure control centre, network upgrade, and the deployment of advanced cameras with integrated analytics across the base. Working with KBS Maritime, North will deploy its specialist defence and critical national infrastructure expertise to deliver a phased solution, maintaining continuous security operations throughout the upgrade period. The infrastructure will integrate multiple systems into a unified platform, providing a robust foundation for ongoing future developments. Richard Green, Managing Director (MD) - D&J at North described the contract as a "significant milestone", saying it underscores the company's role as a trusted partner for defence and maritime security programmes. "Working alongside KBS Maritime, we're supporting the Royal Navy by delivering a secure, resilient and future-ready surveillance capability at Portsmouth Naval Base." James Davis, Managing Director (MD) at KBS Maritime (pictured) added: "The upgrade will ensure Portsmouth sets a clear precedent as a secure, high-readiness hub, and which makes best use of advanced technology, providing a replicable model for other MOD sites to meet future threats."

KBR secures $60M NATO contract for PATRIOT system support.

KBR secures $60M NATO contract for PATRIOT system support. * KBR will support PATRIOT integration with the Army's IBCS architecture * The five-year award will cover work at U.S. and international locations * The contract builds on KBR's decades of PATRIOT engineering and technical support KBR's mission technology solutions business has secured a potential $60 million recompete contract from NATO to support the PATRIOT air and missile defense system, the company said Monday. What is the scope of the PATRIOT support contract? Under the five-year, time-and-materials award, KBR will support the integration of the PATRIOT system with the Integrated Battle Command System, or IBCS, to link sensors and effectors through an integrated command-and-control architecture. The mission technology solutions division, which will be renamed Trinzic following its planned spin-off, will perform the work at locations worldwide, including Redstone Arsenal government facilities and KBR offices in Huntsville, Alabama, as well as Letterkenny Army Depot in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. Managed by the NATO Support and Procurement Agency, the program aims to accelerate sustainment and integration timelines while supporting operational readiness. How does the award build on KBR's PATRIOT work? KBR has provided technical and engineering services for the PATRIOT system for decades, supporting the Department of War and international partners. In 2022, the company received a five-year, $207 million task order to conduct engineering analyses, modeling and simulation and testing aimed at enhancing the missile defense system. The task order covered areas including surveillance, guidance, fire control, engagement decision logic and interceptor performance. PATRIOT is fielded worldwide, safeguarding military forces, critical infrastructure and civilian populations. KBR said sustainment and readiness support remain necessary as the system continues to integrate with developing air and missile defense architectures. Jay Lennon, president of mission technology solutions, said the award demonstrates KBR's ability to deliver technical support at scale and at the pace required by current air and missile defense demands. Lennon and Vice President of Business Strategy Daniel Dant were recently selected to oversee the company's Golden Dome missile defense strategy and related efforts.

Morocco ammonia project targets shipping demand.

Morocco ammonia project targets shipping demand. by Ship & Bunker News Team Monday August 17, 2026 The proposed project is expected to produce around 560,000 tonnes/year of low-carbon ammonia. File Image / Pixabay A planned ammonia project in Morocco's Laayoune region is targeting shipping and other export markets with expected production of around 560,000 tonnes/year. The project, being developed by ORNX Green Hydrogen, will use about 900 MW of electrolyser capacity to produce hydrogen and ammonia from renewable power, KBR said in a press release last Wednesday. Engineering firm KBR has been appointed to provide ammonia technology licensing and pre-FEED services for the project, with funding support from the US Trade and Development Agency. The development will combine power generation, hydrogen production and ammonia synthesis, with access to port infrastructure supporting exports. The pre-FEED study will be carried out by KBR with GE Vernova, Electric Hydrogen and Terabase. The project is expected to supply low-carbon ammonia to the fertilizer, maritime and industrial sectors. With ammonia engines now becoming commercially available and shipowners beginning to order vessels, the industry is gradually moving to embrace the fuel. However, significant work remains to develop bunkering infrastructure, as ammonia is toxic and requires strict safety precautions.
