Two mega-projects will establish CCS ammonia supply chains to South Korea for use as a power generation fuel. In Western Australia, Pilot Energy and new project partners Samsung C&T will develop the Mid West Clean Energy Project, while Hydrogen Canada Corp has announced a Korean offtaker for its production project near Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta.
Topsoe will supply its ammonia loop technology to the million tonne per year renewable ammonia project in Newfoundland. Crown lands application approval means that project developers World Energy GH2 have now secured full land capacity for both initial and potential expansion phases for the project.
Three wind farms totalling 530 MW will be developed in partnership with RES & First Nation communities to help power the first phase of EverWind Fuel’s mega-project in Point Tupper. EverWind is also planning the development of a further 2 GW of onshore wind energy, plus a 300 MW solar farm. Ammonia from Point Tupper will be exported to the EU, beginning in 2025.
Marubeni & Pembina Pipeline Corporation will jointly develop a low-carbon ammonia supply chain from Western Canada to Japan. CCS-based hydrogen production & ammonia plants will be built adjacent to Pembina’s existing complex near Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, with ammonia to be shipped by rail to Canada’s west coast for export.
World Energy GH2 has announced that it has acquired a key piece of infrastructure for the development of Project Nujio’qonik: the Port of Stephenville on Newfoundland’s west coast. On the other side of Newfoundland island, the Port of Argentia and Pattern Energy have agreed to commercial terms for a planned renewable ammonia project adjacent to the port.
World Energy GH2’s Project Nujio’Qonik has a new partner, with SK ecoplant announcing a $50 million investment. Bloom Energy has also announced it will provide solid oxide electrolysis cells for the initial phase of the project. On the other side of Newfoundland, Pattern Energy is developing a renewable hydrogen & ammonia export facility at the Port of Argentia, with exports to Europe to begin from 2025.
