The CEO of TES Canada, Éric Gauthier, is optimistic about the green hydrogen megaproject in Mauricie, Quebec, emphasizing its role in decarbonizing challenging sectors like industry and heavy transportation. The $4 billion project, set to begin in 2028, aims to produce 70,000 tons of green hydrogen annually by leveraging wind, solar, and Hydro-Québec's energy sources. With a focus on reducing CO2 emissions by 800,000 tonnes per year, TES Canada is aligning its efforts with Quebec's energy transition goals. The initiative faces challenges in energy losses during hydrogen production and efficient distribution strategies. TES plans to utilize a partnership with Énergir to transform hydrogen into renewable gas for industrial consumption, potentially aiding in meeting regulatory targets for renewable gas in Quebec. Additionally, the company aims to allocate a portion of its hydrogen production to decarbonize heavy-duty trucking, presenting hydrogen trucks as a cost-effective solution for long-distance transportation. Despite uncertainties around the distribution of renewable gas and its usage, TES Canada's project is viewed positively as a significant step towards decarbonization in Quebec. With discussions ongoing with various stakeholders and the government's support through initiatives like ministerial approval and collaboration with Hydro-Québec, the project demonstrates a commitment to driving the province's energy transition and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
