Key Ideas
- McDermott has been awarded an agreement to work on Canada's first commercial green hydrogen and ammonia production facility in Central Newfoundland.
- The project includes the development of a large wind farm and solar photo voltaic system, with the capacity to generate 3.5GW of electricity.
- The facility will have the capability to produce 165kta of hydrogen and 5000 metric tons per day of ammonia, showcasing a significant step towards sustainable energy production.
- McDermott's involvement in this project highlights their industry-leading delivery and installation expertise in the energy transition sector.
McDermott has been awarded an Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) agreement from Abraxas Power Corporation for the Exploits Valley Renewable Energy Corporation (EVREC) project in Central Newfoundland, Canada. This project is significant as it represents Canada's first commercial green hydrogen and ammonia production facility. The facility will also include the development of a 530-turbine wind farm and a 150MW solar photo voltaic (PV) system, showcasing a massive capacity to generate renewable energy. The hydrogen production capacity will be 165kta, with an additional 5000 metric tons per day of ammonia production. McDermott's role will involve providing front-end engineering design (FEED), engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) execution planning services for the hydrogen and ammonia production aspects of the project. The work will be managed from McDermott's offices in Houston and Gurgaon, showcasing a global effort towards sustainable energy solutions. This project marks a significant milestone in the shift towards green hydrogen production and emphasizes the growing importance of renewable energy sources for a more sustainable future.
