Everwind advances Novia Scotia hydrogen project
Developer aims to develop Point Tupper storage terminal into regional hydrogen and ammonia hub
Canadian developer Everwind Fuels has acquired the Point Tupper energy storage terminal in Novia Scotia from Texas-based Nustar Energy for $60mn, with the aim of developing the site into a green hydrogen hub for eastern Canada. Green hydrogen production at the site on the Strait of Canso, near Port Hawkesbury, could start as early as 2025, with a potential electrolyser capacity of 200MW. Privately owned Everwind has chosen Norwegian electrolyser manufacturer Nel as the technology provider for the Feed stage of the project. The development is also expected to include ammonia production, with US company KBR providing the ammonia conversion technology. Everwind says the 1,400-acre Point Tupper
