Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Canada-based World Energy GH2, an affiliate of green fuels producer World Energy LLC (Boston, Massachusetts), said late last month it received land lease approvals for the initial two windfarms of its wind-to-green hydrogen project off the west coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. The company says it will feature North America's first commercial-scale green hydrogen and ammonia production complex.
The land lease approvals are for Project Nujio'qonik's initial two 1-gigawatt (GW) windfarms that would supply a green hydrogen and ammonia plant at the Port of Stephensville, which WorldEnergy GH2 owns. The approvals include land for two additional windfarms, for a potential 4 GW of wind capacity.
WorldEnergy GH2 expects green hydrogen production will begin in late 2025.
In a press release announcing the land lease approvals, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Sean Leet said the company submitted an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for Project Nujio'qonik in August and has completed the pre-front-end engineering and design (pre-FEED), with discussions ongoing with potential suppliers, vendors and customers. The next major milestone will be the province's response to the EIS, expected to be issued this fall.
The first two windfarms would each utilize wind turbines from General Electric (NYSE:GE) (Boston, Massachusetts) to supply power to the hydrogen production facility. The first windfarm also would utilize three General Electric gas turbines, each with a 50-megawatt (MW) capacity.
The green hydrogen and ammonia plant is expected to be constructed in three phases, each with 500 MW of electrolysers--fed by wind generation--to produce green hydrogen to be used as feedstock for the green ammonia. Upon completion of all three phases, total capacity is expected to be 250,000 tons per year of green hydrogen and 1.5 million tons per year of ammonia.
Industrial Info is tracking the first two windfarm phases and the first two green hydrogen/ammonia phases with a medium probability (70-80%) of moving forward as planned. Construction of the first windfarm tentatively is expected to begin in April 2024.

Earlier this year, SK ecoplant, part of South Korean conglomerate SK Group, purchased a 20% stake in the project for US$50 million.
In the World Energy GH2 press release, Chairman John Risley highlighted the project's impact on Canada's clean energy landscape: "Project Nujio'qonik is on track to help fulfil Canada's green hydrogen commitments, and to produce green hydrogen in 2025. Newfoundland and Labrador--and Canada--have the opportunity to become a global leader in production, application and exporting green energy."
Another major green hydrogen project in Canada is the two-phase development of EverWind Fuels' Point Tupper green hydrogen and ammonia plant. The first phase involves converting an existing refined products storage terminal to a green hydrogen and ammonia production facility, which would utilize a 200-MW electrolyser initially fed by 30% wind and 70% coal. Supporting projects entail constructing a transmission line and water connections between the green hydrogen and ammonia units, and adding additional tanks to store ammonia.
The project has a medium probability of moving forward as planned, with the first phase tentatively expected to kick off in February.
EverWind is evaluating a second-phase expansion that would increase the ammonia capacity from an initial 200,000 tons per year to 1 million tons per year for export to Europe by utilizing 2 GW of wind power. Subscribers to the GMI Database can click here to see a full list of projects.
