EverWind Fuels Co., Halifax, Novia Scotia, on June 6 released site renderings of its green fuels project under development on the Burin Peninsula in Newfoundland and Labrador. The renderings leverage EverWind’s recent FEED completion on the first phase of its Point Tupper green hydrogen and ammonia project in Nova Scotia (GM April 12, p. 25).
“FEED completion is always an important milestone on any project, but it is exponentially more important when it’s a first-of-a-kind design in a new industry like green hydrogen and ammonia,” said Trent Vichie, CEO of EverWind. “The renderings for our project on the Burin Peninsula are based on over 110,000 hours of engineering that have gone into our Point Tupper Project but have been adjusted to reflect the massive size and scale of our project on the Burin Peninsula.”
EverWind has been advancing the development of its green hydrogen and ammonia project on the Burin Peninsula since early 2022. On Aug. 30 last year the company was selected as one of four successful proponents in the Crown Land for Wind Process administered by the Department of Industry, Energy and Technology.
EverWind has been focused on critical long lead development workstreams including its wind resource campaign. The company commissioned four meteorological towers (MET) in 2023 and is in the process of constructing an additional four MET towers and installing 2 LiDAR systems.
EverWind said it is now preparing to register its Environmental Assessment for the project in July 2024. Phase I of the project contemplates 3GW of wind energy, and combined the multiple phases represent nearly 10GW, EverWind said. Combined, EverWind said it is actively developing a pipeline of over 15GW of renewables across Atlantic Canada.
“This project represents the future for the Burin Peninsula – the jobs and the economic opportunities that our region has been losing for decades,” said Dave Pittman, Mayor of Winterland and member of the Burin Peninsula Energy Board. “I know there is a tremendous amount of work left to bring the project to our peninsula, but these renderings are an exciting glimpse into the future we hope to see.”
Phase 1 of the Point Tupper Project will use PEM electrolyzers to separate water from the nearby artificial Landrie Lake, using renewable electricity generated by wind power. The project is expected to produce 240,000 mt/y of green ammonia. Production is expected to begin in 2026.
