Samsung E&A has signed an Engineering, Procurement, and Fabrication (EPF) contract with Wabash Valley Resources for the USA Wabash Low-Carbon Ammonia Project. The project is valued at approximately USD 475 million with a duration of 30 months, this marks Samsung E&A America’s first low-carbon ammonia plant contract in the United States.
The new plant will be built in West Terre Haute, Indiana, and is one of the few ammonia production facilities in the U.S. with a federal permit for permanent carbon dioxide storage. Designed to produce 500,000 tonnes of eco-friendly ammonia annually, the facility will also capture up to 1.67 million tonnes of CO₂. The produced ammonia will primarily serve as fertilizer for agricultural use across the Midwest.
Leveraging its extensive experience in ammonia projects, Samsung E&A will deploy advanced technologies such as Digital Twin, AI, and automation to enhance efficiency and sustainability. The company will partner with Honeywell, whose leading carbon capture technologies will help optimize operations and minimize emissions at the Wabash Valley facility. Samsung E&A and Honeywell have previously collaborated on multiple energy transition projects worldwide, applying carbon capture solutions to hard-to-abate sectors.
With this project, Samsung E&A has successfully re-entered the U.S. market—its first major contract since 2011—expanding its portfolio in new energy solutions that support global energy diversification.
Under its E&Able strategy, which focuses on three key pillars—E&Able Low (low carbon), E&Able Zero (zero carbon), and E&Able Circle (environment)—the company continues to drive innovation for a more sustainable, technology-driven energy future.
Samsung E&A has also been strengthening its position in clean energy through investments and partnerships in carbon capture, water electrolysis, ammonia synthesis and decomposition, and e-Fuels. Recent milestones include contracts for SAF and eco-friendly LNG plants, participation in a PLA (Poly Lactic Acid) project, equity acquisition in global hydrogen company Nel ASA, and the launch of multiple new technology solutions.
Hong Namkoong, President and CEO of Samsung E&A, stated:
“Samsung E&A will successfully execute this project based on our core E&Able strategy, contributing to the U.S. energy security and environmental sustainability goals while strengthening our presence in North America.”
