Baker Hughes will supply Technip Energies with a steam turbine generator along with centrifugal compression equipment for the Blue Point Number One Ammonia Project in Modeste, Louisiana. The facility, a joint venture between CF Industries, Mitsui & Co., and JERA, is set to be the world’s largest low-carbon ammonia plant with an annual nameplate capacity of approximately 1.4 million metric tons.
Baker Hughes’ technology will enable the Blue Point Number One Ammonia Project to produce blue ammonia through an autothermal reforming (ATR) process along with an integrated carbon capture and sequestration system designed to capture and store up to 2.3 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year. Baker Hughes’ scope includes a range of compressors, including an ammonia compressor, a syngas compressor, a recycle compressor, and a CO₂ compressor, to deliver the captured CO2 to geological storage via pipeline, as well as a steam turbine-driven BRUSH Power Generation generator.
The ATR ammonia production facility will be constructed at CF Industries’ Blue Point Complex in Louisiana. Construction of the ammonia production facility is expected to begin in 2026, with low-carbon ammonia production expected in 2029.
