EverWind Fuels to establish regional green hydrogen hub in Nova Scotia

In Canada, EverWind Fuels LLC, a private developer of green hydrogen and ammonia production, storage facilities and transportation assets, acquired the NuStar storage terminal in Point Tupper, Nova Scotia and intends to expand and develop the site to be the location of a regional green hydrogen hub for Eastern Canada, including new green hydrogen and ammonia production facilities.

As an alternative fuel, green hydrogen produced at the site is expected to help provide a green fuel for Nova Scotia and support carbon emissions reduction by over one million tonnes a year by 2025. By 2030, the project could reduce domestic and international carbon emissions by more than four million tonnes a year through the production of green hydrogen.

The Point Tupper site is ideally positioned to produce green hydrogen as early as 2025, supported by significant existing in-place infrastructure. Point Tupper has an existing ice-free, deep-water port with 27-meter depth and two berths which are capable of accommodating the largest vessels in the world. The port is the deepest in Nova Scotia and the surrounding region. In addition, the Point Tupper site has existing rail loading facilities and is adjacent to pipeline networks to support domestic and regional markets. Electricity transmission is available at the site as well as 7.7 million barrels of liquids storage and abundant freshwater, which is adjacent to the site.
