Canada's First Green Hydrogen and Ammonia Plant Marks Strategic Advancement in Energy Sector
Key Ideas
  • McDermott and Abraxas Power Corporation are leading the construction of Canada's first commercial green hydrogen and ammonia production plant in Newfoundland, integrating wind and solar technologies for large-scale production.
  • The facility aims to produce 165,000 metric tons of hydrogen and 5,000 metric tons of ammonia per day, enhancing Canada's energy independence and serving as a reference model for future renewable energy projects.
  • McDermott's expertise in engineering, procurement, and construction, combined with its modular approach to reduce costs and risks, highlights its crucial role in this innovative project, which is expected to create local jobs and boost the regional economy.
  • The Exploits Valley Renewable Energy Corporation (EVREC) project not only offers export opportunities for green hydrogen and ammonia but also has the potential to drive economic growth, attract investments, and foster technological innovation in Canada's energy sector.
Canada's energy sector is making a significant leap with the launch of its first commercial green hydrogen and ammonia production plant in Newfoundland. McDermott, alongside Abraxas Power Corporation, is spearheading this groundbreaking project that will combine a 530-turbine wind farm with a 150 MW solar power plant. The facility has ambitious production targets of 165,000 metric tons of hydrogen and 5,000 metric tons of ammonia per day, emphasizing the country's commitment to energy independence and diversification of production sources. By leveraging wind and solar technologies, the project aims to optimize energy production to meet the rising demand for clean energy in Canada. Additionally, McDermott's involvement in providing engineering, procurement, and construction expertise underscores the importance of its modular approach to reduce costs and ensure quality in this venture. The collaboration between McDermott and Abraxas Power Corporation is not only set to create local jobs and support the regional economy but also opens up significant export opportunities for green hydrogen and ammonia, positioning Canada strongly in the global energy market. The project, spearheaded by the Exploits Valley Renewable Energy Corporation, is poised to stimulate economic growth, attract investments, and drive technological advancements in the renewable energy sector across the country. Through this integration of advanced engineering solutions and renewable technologies, the project signals a promising future for Canada's energy landscape.
