Baker Hughes, an energy technology company, announced an award from Technip Energies to supply a steam turbine generator along with critical centrifugal compression equipment for the Blue Point Number One Ammonia Project in Modeste, Louisiana, U.S. The facility, a joint venture between CF Industries, Mitsui & Co., and JERA, is set to be the world’s largest low-carbon ammonia plant with an annual nameplate capacity of approximately 1.4 million metric tons. The order was booked in the third quarter of 2025.
Baker Hughes’ critical technology solutions will enable the Blue Point Number One Ammonia Project to produce blue ammonia through an autothermal reforming (ATR) process along with an integrated CCS system designed to sequester up to 2.3 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year. Baker Hughes’ scope includes a range of compressors, including an ammonia compressor, a syngas compressor, a recycle compressor, and a CO₂ compressor, to deliver the captured CO2 to geological storage via pipeline, as well as a steam turbine-driven BRUSH™ Power Generation generator.
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 production facility is expected to begin in 2026, with low-carbon ammonia production expected in 2029.
