Clean energy & biofuels
The transition to becoming a clean energy superpower
The global shift to clean energy and decarbonised economies is a huge economic opportunity for Australia. New energy alternatives not only provide the opportunities to help Australia meet its net zero targets, but clean fuels such as hydrogen and ammonia enable the storage and transportation of Australia’s rapidly expanding renewable energy market, providing an incredible economic opportunity for energy exports.
KBR’s Sustainability and Energy Transition Advisory is a highly specialised, expert team who provide strategic leadership, and expert insights to government and industry, operating across the dynamic landscape of transitioning to a new energy, low-carbon and sustainable future across several sectors including energy, water, critical minerals, defence and transport.

Hydrogen
The establishment of a productive, economically viable, and large-scale clean hydrogen industry is crucial for achieving Australia’s domestic decarbonisation goals and ensuring that energy trade continues to be a fundamental component of our future economy. We work with customers across the entire hydrogen value chain and help plan, design, and deliver hydrogen infrastructure, such as storage facilities, pipelines, and refuelling stations to enable the seamless integration of hydrogen into the grid.
With extensive experience in hydrogen projects in Australia and around the world, KBR is well placed to help governments and businesses take advantage of these emerging energy alternatives.

From blue to green
While green hydrogen is the preferred option, there are significant economic, technological, infrastructure and logistical barriers to scaling up an export-scale green hydrogen industry in Australia. Drawing on our domain expertise, we offer ‘Blue2Green’ pathways to a future export‐scale green hydrogen industry that can help progress Australia’s energy transition. A Blue2Green approach focuses on developing green hydrogen, while recognising the role of blue energy during the transitional phase.
We work with customers across the entire hydrogen value chain, from production to end-use applications, providing cutting-edge technologies for hydrogen production, including steam methane reforming, autothermal reforming, and electrolysis. We also help plan, design, and deliver hydrogen infrastructure, such as storage facilities, pipelines, and refuelling stations to enable the seamless integration of hydrogen into the grid.

Sustainable biofuels
Sustainable biofuels that can be used in existing infrastructure play an important role in the global energy transition and are produced from renewable energy feedstocks or carbon rich sources through a chemical conversion process.
KBR boasts unrivalled experience in sustainable biofuels and has the ability to efficiently recycle end-of-life waste plastic and convert it into a reusable feedstock for plastics or other valuable chemicals production.
Sustainable aviation fuel
One of the most exciting applications for sustainable biofuels is within the aviation industry. KBR’s PureSAF℠ technology, developed by Swedish Biofuels AB and exclusively licensed via KBR, provides a compelling way for the aviation industry to adopt green energy alternatives and cut carbon emissions.
The global demand for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is expected to exceed 75 billion metric tons of per year by 2040, and KBR is working closely with industry to help support the aviation industry’s transition toward a cleaner, greener future.

Carbon capture and decarbonisation
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) plays a significant role in decarbonising Australia’s energy sector while bridging the gap with reliable energy supply throughout the transition. At KBR, we recognise the importance of this bridge as it enables a shift away from fossil fuels while maintaining energy security and supply, as well as addressing emissions from existing infrastructure.
As a global leader in sustainable technology, our complete lifecycle solutions begin with supporting businesses in developing an investment strategy for CCS including emissions management, carbon accounting, feasibility studies, transaction advisory, market and regulation support, technical support, and asset performance. We then design and deliver the solutions, from operations, and maintenance, to decommissioning.
