Baker Hughes, an power expertise firm, introduced Monday an award from Technip Energies to produce a steam turbine generator together with vital centrifugal compression tools for the Blue Point Number One Ammonia Project in Modeste, Louisiana, U.S. The facility, a three way partnership between CF Industries, Mitsui & Co., and JERA, is about to be the world’s largest low-carbon ammonia plant with an annual nameplate capability of roughly 1.4 million metric tons. The order was booked in the third quarter of 2025.
Baker Hughes has obtained an order from Technip Energies to produce key turbine and compression tools for the Blue Point Number One Ammonia Project in Louisiana.
The 1.4 MMT facility will seize and retailer as much as 2.3 MMT of CO₂ yearly, advancing international decarbonisation.
Construction begins in 2026, with output anticipated by 2029.
Baker Hughes’ vital expertise options will allow the Blue Point Number One Ammonia Project to provide blue ammonia by an autothermal reforming (ATR) course of together with an built-in CCS system designed to sequester as much as 2.3 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per yr. Baker Hughes’ scope features a vary of compressors, together with an ammonia compressor, a syngas compressor, a recycle compressor, and a CO2 compressor, to ship the captured CO2 to geological storage through pipeline, in addition to a steam turbine-driven BRUSH Power Generation generator.
Ammonia is acknowledged for its potential as a low-carbon power supply and more and more important for attaining decarbonization objectives in hard-to-abate sectors, together with agriculture, energy and marine. Through Baker Hughes’ differentiated expertise portfolio, the corporate offers built-in options that tackle the demanding specs of complicated, large-scale initiatives.
“Ammonia, as a lower-carbon energy source, is poised to play a pivotal role in enabling and accelerating global sustainable energy development,” stated Alessandro Bresciani, senior vp of Energy Equipment at Baker Hughes. “As ammonia expands from agricultural and chemical use to a world commodity for power, we’re proud to help the scaling of it with our confirmed expertise options for one of many world’s largest low-carbon ammonia initiatives.”
The ATR ammonia production facility will be constructed at CF Industries’ Blue Point Complex in Louisiana, and the project will permanently store up to 2.3 million metric tons of CO2 annually in a Class VI well.
Construction of the ammonia manufacturing facility is anticipated to start in 2026, with low-carbon ammonia manufacturing anticipated in 2029.
