Canadian geothermal hydrogen project advances
Startup Meager Creek Development Corporation has plans to convert an abandoned geothermal power project to produce green hydrogen
Canadian startup Meager Creek Development Corporation (MCDC) plans to produce green hydrogen from geothermal power supplied by the Meager Creek project in British Columbia (BC), on the site of a previously abandoned geothermal research project. The development is in the unceded traditional territory of the Lil’wat First Nation. MCDC is targeting first hydrogen production from the initial phase of its project in 2025, which would make it one of the first to do so from geothermal power in the world. The company estimates the first phase will cost C$250mn ($184mn), with a 32MW geothermal plant providing power to the electrolyser to generate 3,900t/yr of green hydrogen. Hydrogen Economist interv
