On October 30, Samsung Engineering & Architecture announced that it had secured a contract to build a low-carbon ammonia plant in the United States.

Samsung Engineering & Architecture disclosed on the same day that it had signed an engineering, procurement, and fabrication (EPF) contract for the low-carbon ammonia project with Wabash Valley Resources, a U.S.-based company.

This marks the company’s first-ever order for a low-carbon ammonia plant since its founding, with a contract value of approximately 680 billion won (475 million dollars). The project duration is set for 30 months.

The project involves constructing an eco-friendly ammonia facility in West Terre Haute, Indiana, which will have the capacity to produce 500,000 tons of ammonia annually and capture 1.67 million tons of carbon dioxide.

The ammonia produced will be used as fertilizer for farmland in the U.S. Midwest region.

Notably, Samsung Engineering & Architecture explained that this is a national-level project with funding participation from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), South Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and the Ministry of Environment, and that it has also received approval for permanent carbon dioxide storage in the United States.

Samsung Engineering & Architecture stated, "With this order, we have successfully re-entered the U.S. market," adding, "We plan to use this project as a stepping stone to expand our participation in the U.S. plant market."
