Baker Hughes Lands Key Contracts for Wabash Valley’s Low-Carbon Ammonia Plant

Event summary

  • Baker Hughes secures multiple contracts to supply compression and well construction solutions for Wabash Valley Resources’ clean ammonia plant in Indiana.
  • The plant will produce 500,000 tons of ammonia annually and capture 1.67 million tons of CO₂, enhancing U.S. fertilizer supply sustainability.
  • Baker Hughes will provide compression equipment for Honeywell UOP’s hydrogen purification system and CO₂ injection pumps for geological storage.
  • The project repurposes an existing gasification facility into a state-of-the-art clean ammonia production plant.

The big picture

Baker Hughes’ involvement in Wabash Valley Resources’ project underscores the growing intersection of energy technology and agricultural sustainability. The deal highlights the increasing demand for low-carbon solutions in fertilizer production, driven by regulatory pressures and the need for resilient domestic supply chains. The scale of CO₂ capture and ammonia production positions the project as a potential benchmark for future industrial decarbonization efforts.
