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 announcement was made during the 2026 Baker Hughes Annual Meeting in Florence. 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, helping create a more sustainable and reliable domestic fertilizer supply for the U.S. Corn Belt and broader agricultural market. Under the new awards, Baker Hughes will leverage its broad 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. “Beyond energy, Baker Hughes is helping to transform essential industries such as agriculture to help them expand in a more productive and sustainable manner,” said Baker Hughes Chairman and CEO Lorenzo Simonelli. “Wabash Valley Resources’ project brings together government, technology partners, industry and global investors to realize world-class industrial innovation so that farms can provide for growing populations.” “Baker Hughes is a critical sustainability partner for Wabash Valley Resources, providing the advanced technologies that allow us to both open new low-carbon markets and make existing agricultural supply chains more sustainable,” said Dan Williams, CEO of Wabash Valley Resources. “Their expertise in well constru...
