Hy2gen Canada Inc, the Canadian subsidiary of global green hydrogen producer Hy2gen, has been chosen to receive a block of electricity, subject to an agreement with Hydro-Québec, for a green hydrogen and green ammonia production facility in Baie-Comeau. This decision is pivotal for the Courant project, enabling the start of Front-End-Engineering and bringing the final investment decision closer. The company plans to commence construction of the green ammonia plant in the latter part of 2026, targeting the first green ammonia production by 2029. The project's location benefits from short transport routes for off-takers of green ammonia, facilitating the decarbonization of chemicals production and fostering sustainable industry practices. The CEO and Director of Hy2gen Canada express their appreciation for the support received and emphasize their dedication to advancing green hydrogen production in Quebec. Hy2gen aims to lead the global renewable energy market by providing reliable renewable hydrogen and green ammonia solutions, with the Courant project playing a significant role in achieving this goal. The award of the power supply contract signifies a milestone for Hy2gen's credibility in the renewable energy sector and reinforces its position as a key player in the global market.
