Baker Hughes To Supply Key Technology For Blue Point Number One, The World's Largest Low-Carbon Ammonia Plant

October 27, 2025

• Company to supply critical compression equipment for ammonia production and CO2 transportation, and a steam turbine-driven power generation generator technology

• Facility to produce 1.4 million metric tons per year of low-carbon ammonia integrated with carbon capture and storage (CCS) capabilities

• Award from Technip Energies expands Baker Hughes' presence in emerging low-carbon ammonia market

HOUSTON & LONDON – Oct. 27, 2025 – Baker Hughes, an energy technology company, announced Monday 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.

Ammonia is recognized for its potential as a low-carbon energy source and increasingly vital for achieving decarbonization goals in hard-to-abate sectors, including agriculture, power, and marine. Through Baker Hughes’ differentiated technology portfolio, the company provides integrated solutions that address the demanding specifications of complex, large-scale projects.

"Ammonia, as a lower-carbon energy source, is poised to play a pivotal role in enabling and accelerating global sustainable energy development," said Alessandro Bresciani, Senior Vice President of Energy Equipment at Baker Hughes. "As ammonia expands from agricultural and chemical use to a global commodity for energy, we are proud to support the scaling of it with our proven technology solutions for one of the world's largest low-carbon ammonia projects."

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.
