Baker Hughes to provide equipment for massive low-carbon ammonia plant

Baker Hughes, a Houston-based energy technology company, has been selected to supply key equipment — including a steam turbine generator and compression systems — for Blue Point Number One, which is set to become the world’s largest low-carbon ammonia plant. The $4 billion project is located in Louisiana and developed through a joint venture between CF Industries (40%), JERA (35%), and Mitsui & Co. (25%). The facility, designed and engineered by Technip Energies, will be capable of producing 1.4 million metric tons of low-carbon ammonia per year, while capturing and permanently storing up to 2.3 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually. Linde has also signed a long-term contract to provide industrial gases for the site. Construction is planned to begin in 2026, with production expected to start by 2029. The project underscores the growing global focus on ammonia as a clean energy carrier — particularly for use in decarbonizing power generation and industrial sectors. It also highlights how U.S. energy and technology companies are positioning themselves as leaders in the energy transition and carbon capture industries.
