Description
A potential hydrogen hub in Terre Haute, Vigo County, Indiana.
The WVR facility is expected to produce 500,000 metric tons of anhydrous ammonia annually and it will repower and repurpose an existing gasification plant.
The project would have a commercial-scale geological storage complex for storage of 50 million tonnes or more of CO2.
In January 2024, WVR received two Class VI permits from the U.S. EPA to construct CO2 injection wells in the state.
In July 2024, Baker Hughes signed a long-term agreement to supply advanced technology services and solutions to support WVR’s ammonia production with compression systems, injection well construction and perform testing and monitoring services for the geological sequestration of CO2.
