Bear Head Energy gets environmental approval for green hydrogen and ammonia project in Nova Scotia

In Canada, Bear Head Energy announced it has received Environmental Assessment approval from Timothy Halman, Minister of Nova Scotia Environment and Climate Change, for the company’s green hydrogen and ammonia production, storage, and loading facility in Point Tupper, Nova Scotia. Bear Head is permitted for up to two gigawatts of hydrogen electrolysers. At full build-out and peak power inflow, Bear Head could produce up to 350,000 tons of hydrogen and two million tons of ammonia per year. Bear Head will be developed in phases and is expected to commence deliveries of green hydrogen and ammonia by 2028. Paul MacLean, Managing Director of Bear Head Energy, said: “We believe green hydrogen and ammonia will play a fundamental role in facilitating the global energy transition, and this approval demonstrates that Canada and Nova Scotia are at the forefront of making this a reality.” Bear Head is a wholly owned subsidiary of BAES Infrastructure.
