SAMSUNG E&A Wins USD 475 Million U.S. Low-Carbon Ammonia Plant Contract

SAMSUNG E&A, a leading global total solutions provider in the energy sector, has announced that its U.S. subsidiary, SAMSUNG E&A America, has secured an Engineering, Procurement, and Fabrication (EPF) contract for the “USA Wabash Low-Carbon Ammonia Project” from Wabash Valley Resources. Valued at approximately USD 475 million, this milestone contract signifies SAMSUNG E&A’s official and full-scale re-entry into the U.S. energy market. The project, which will span 30 months, represents the company’s first low-carbon ammonia plant contract in the country.

The plant will be constructed in West Terre Haute, Indiana, marking a major step toward advancing clean energy production in the U.S. It will produce around 500,000 tonnes of eco-friendly ammonia annually while capturing up to 1.67 million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year. The produced ammonia will serve as a sustainable fertilizer for agricultural use across the Midwest, supporting both environmental and food security goals. Notably, this facility is among the few in the U.S. granted federal authorization for permanent carbon dioxide storage, underlining its strategic importance for decarbonization efforts.

To deliver the project successfully, SAMSUNG E&A will integrate its long-standing expertise in ammonia production with cutting-edge digital and automation technologies. The company plans to apply advanced systems such as Digital Twin, AI, and Digital Transformation tools to enhance project efficiency, accuracy, and sustainability.

A key partner in this project is Honeywell, whose renowned carbon capture solutions will be deployed at the Wabash Valley Resources facility. This collaboration aims to optimize production while significantly minimizing emissions, demonstrating SAMSUNG E&A’s commitment to advancing decarbonization technologies. The two companies have previously worked together on several carbon capture and storage (CCS) initiatives worldwide, focusing on challenging industrial sectors with hard-to-abate emissions.

This project marks SAMSUNG E&A’s first major U.S. contract since its initial market entry in 2011, symbolizing a renewed phase of growth and innovation for the company. It also reinforces SAMSUNG E&A’s ongoing strategy to diversify and strengthen its presence in the global energy transition landscape.

Under its core strategic framework—E&Able Low (low carbon), E&Able Zero (zero carbon), and E&Able Circle (environment)—the company continues to expand its footprint across emerging energy solutions, including hydrogen, e-fuels, and sustainable chemicals. Recent achievements include contracts for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and LNG projects, participation in a PLA (Poly Lactic Acid) plant, and an equity investment in Norwegian hydrogen firm Nel ASA.

Highlighting the company’s commitment, Hong Namkoong, President and CEO of SAMSUNG E&A, stated, “We are proud to contribute to America’s energy security and environmental goals through our E&Able strategy, further strengthening our position in North America’s sustainable energy sector.”
