Baker Hughes secures multiple orders to advance WVR ammonia fertilizer project

Baker Hughes (BKR) announced Wednesday 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 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 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.
