Baker Hughes has received multiple awards to progress one of the first low-carbon ammonia fertilizer production plants in the United States being developed by Wabash Valley Resources (WVR). Baker Hughes will supply essential compression and integrated well construction solutions that support multiple parts of the clean ammonia value chain – from hydrogen production to CO₂ separation and permanent sequestration.
The project, located in West Terre Haute, Indiana, will repurpose an existing gasification facility into a state-of-the-art clean ammonia plant. Once in operation, it will be capable of producing 500,000 tons of ammonia per year while capturing 1.67 million tons of CO₂ annually.
Under the new awards, Baker Hughes will leverage its portfolio to provide compression equipment for Honeywell UOP’s hydrogen purification system, along with compressors for ammonia and syngas processing under a separate contract with a different customer. Baker Hughes will also provide CO₂ injection pumps for permanent geological storage.
These latest awards follow a separate well construction contract booked in the third quarter of 2025 to support the site’s long‑term CO₂ storage infrastructure (see Baker Hughes Compressors For Indiana Carbon Sequestration Project). This includes constructing two CO₂ injection wells and four monitoring wells, using advanced completions systems and corrosion-resistant cement to ensure long-term integrity. Advanced monitoring technologies deployed in the wells will support regulatory compliance, environmental protection, and full lifecycle CO₂ management.
