- The plant is expected to produce 500,000 tons of ammonia annually while capturing 1.67 million tons of CO₂.
- Baker Hughes will provide compression, well construction, and CO₂ sequestration technologies.
- The project aims to strengthen domestic fertilizer supply for the U.S. agricultural sector.
Baker Hughes Awarded Contracts for Low-Carbon Ammonia Project
Baker Hughes has announced multiple awards to support the development of one of the first low-carbon ammonia fertilizer production plants in the United States. The project, led by Wabash Valley Resources (WVR), was announced during the 2026 Baker Hughes Annual Meeting in Florence.
Located in West Terre Haute, Indiana, the project will repurpose an existing gasification facility into a clean ammonia production plant. Once operational, the facility is expected to produce up to 500,000 tons of ammonia per year and capture approximately 1.67 million tons of carbon dioxide annually. The project is positioned to support a more sustainable and reliable fertilizer supply for the U.S. Corn Belt and broader agricultural markets.
Technology Scope Across the Clean Ammonia Value Chain
Compression, Hydrogen, and CO₂ Management
Under the new awards, Baker Hughes will supply compression equipment for Honeywell UOP’s hydrogen purification system, as well as compressors for ammonia and syngas processing under a separate contract. In addition, the company will provide CO₂ injection pumps designed for permanent geological storage.
