The plant, to be built in West Terre Haute, Indiana, is an ammonia production facility in the US that receives a federal permit for permanent carbon dioxide storage. It will produce 500 000 tpy of environmentally friendly ammonia and has the capacity to capture 1.67 million t of carbon dioxide. The produced ammonia will be used as fertilizer for farmland in the Midwest of the US.
SAMSUNG E&A plans to leverage its extensive ammonia plant experience and its differentiated technologies, such as digital twin, digital transformation, AI, and automation, for this project.
SAMSUNG E&A will work with Honeywell to execute the project. Honeywell’s carbon capture technologies will be used at the Wabash Valley Resources facility to optimise operations and reduce emissions to increase the production of ammonia.
SAMSUNG E&A has collaborated with Honeywell to provide carbon capture technologies for hard-to-abate energy projects worldwide. SAMSUNG E&A expanded its portfolio with new energy solutions supporting global energy addition and diversification, re-entering the U.S. market with this contract – the first since its initial entry in 2011.
Hong Namkoong, President and CEO of SAMSUNG E&A, said: “SAMSUNG E&A will execute the project based on our main core strategy, E&Able, thereby contributing to the energy security and environmental sustainability goals of the US and solidifying our position in North America.”
