Prince Rupert's Legacy Inc. has leased 79 acres of Watson Island to Hy2gen Canada to investigate the feasibility of a hydrogen-based energy export project in Prince Rupert. Although the specific project details are not disclosed, Hy2gen Canada aims to develop facilities producing renewable hydrogen, bio-methanol, bio-methane, bio-diesel, sustainable aviation fuel, and renewable ammonia. The city and Legacy express excitement over the potential benefits for the community. Mayor Herb Pond highlights the environmental and economic advantages, emphasizing support for British Columbia's climate goals. The lease provides Hy2gen with exclusivity for feasibility work while ensuring the city retains land ownership. Revenue from the lease will be used for dividends and offsetting capital expenditures. Additionally, the city expects increased property taxes and job creation through permanent and temporary positions. Hy2gen's managing director sees the project as a strategic green energy export opportunity benefiting from the region's attributes and support. The project aligns with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, with hydrogen identified as a clean-burning fuel by the Energy Council of Canada. Canada's advantageous position as a hydrogen producer is attributed to its abundant clean energy resources. Hy2gen's global presence and experience in hydrogen facilities position it well for this project's success in Prince Rupert's green energy export sector.
