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 licence 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.
We are delighted to be carrying out this meaningful project between Korea and the U.S.We will continue to expand new business models for future additive and diversified energy solutions.

Boots on the ground for AM Green’s Kakinada project
We have previously reported about AM Green Ammonia’s plan to develop the 1.5 million tons per year renewable ammonia plant in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh. The project reached an important milestone recently, as its first major equipment was erected.
The project will feature integrated renewable capacity of 7.5 GW and 2 GW of pumped storage powering about 2 GW of electrolyser capacity for electrolytic hydrogen and ammonia production. Along with John Cockerill, Technip Energies is the EPC contractor of the project.
Last month, AM Green Ammonia and Uniper signed a long-term offtake agreement which will see the latter receive up to 500, 000 tonnes per year of the RFNBO-compliant renewable ammonia output from the Kakinada project. Further offtake conversations are still underway with Yara and Keppel.
