Wabash: breaking ground for low-emission ammonia project in Indiana

Having signed an engineering, procurement and fabrication contract with Wabash Valley Resources last year, Samsung E&A will construct the Wabash Low-Carbon Ammonia Project, a new 500,000 tons per year ammonia production facility in Terre Haute, Indiana. The CCS-based ammonia plant will be constructed via repurposing an existing gasification facility. On the 5th of January, the company commemorated the groundbreaking ceremony for the project at the Hay Adams Hotel in Washington, D.C. A Class VI sequestration license for the project was granted by the Indiana EPA in March 2024.

The project is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and the Ministry of Climate, Energy, and Environment. Samsung E&A is targeting completion in 2029. When operational, the project will abate an estimated 1.67 million tonnes per year of CO2.

Also part of this project, Baker Hughes will supply compression equipment for Honeywell’s hydrogen purification system. It will also provide injection pumps for geological sequestration.
