NH3 Clean Energy Limited (ASX:NH3) has chosen Linde Engineering, a global industrial gases and engineering company, to provide Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) for its WAH2 clean ammonia project in Western Australia, Fuel Cells Works reports.

The partnership marks a critical step in NH3’s strategy to supply low-emissions ammonia to decarbonising economies in the Asia-Pacific.

The FEED phase will focus on refining plans for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) delivery of WAH2 Project elements, with the construction scope dependent on selecting a suitable contractor. NH3 and Linde will also explore potential delivery models, including Build-Own-Operate (BOO) and Operations & Maintenance (O&M), designed to reduce capital requirements, mitigate construction risk, and leverage global operational expertise.

Charles Whitfield, NH3 Chairman, said: “The appointment of Linde to deliver FEED is a landmark milestone for the WAH2 project and demonstrates the prominent position of the project in the ammonia fuel industry. Linde has vast experience in the construction, commissioning and operation of hydrogen and ammonia plants around the world.”

The WAH2 Project aims to supply low-emissions ammonia for power generation and maritime bunkering, targeting demand from Japan and South Korea. NH3 has secured approvals under the Lead Agency Framework and is advancing discussions with major customers, including MOL and ITOCHU, ensuring readiness for subsequent project phases.

Linde Engineering, with $34 billion in 2025 sales, provides industrial gases and engineering solutions across chemicals, energy, manufacturing, and clean hydrogen production, underpinning NH3’s ambition to deploy proven, world-class technologies.

The FEED award demonstrates a structured approach to de-risking project execution and informs NH3’s selection of future delivery pathways beyond design.
