Canada’s largest renewable hydrogen plant will use Topsoe’s ammonia loop, which was chosen by world Energy GH2.
The largest and first-to-market renewable hydrogen project in Canada, Project Nujio’qonik, will use Topsoe’s dynamic ammonia loop technology, thanks to a contract the company has signed with World Energy GH2 solutions provider.
World Energy GH2 announced Project Nujio’qonik in spring 2022 with an intended investment of USD $12 billion to produce renewable hydrogen, also known as green hydrogen, to decarbonize the challenging sectors globally. The project is situated in the Bay St. George region of Newfoundland and Labrador.
When World Energy GH2’s renewable hydrogen project is finished, it will be able to supply 250,000 metric tonnes of renewable hydrogen annually to markets all over the world. The site will be powered by wind energy for the project’s production, which is scheduled to start producing hydrogen in 2025.
The site will produce up to 1,650 metric tonnes of renewable ammonia per day using Topsoe’s ammonia loop technology.
World Energy GH2 Chairman John Risley said:
An important tenet of Canada’s agreement with Germany to boost hydrogen production by 2025 is Project Nujio’qonik, one of the nation’s first-to-market initiatives to produce hydrogen and ammonia at scale using renewable wind energy.
“We are pleased to have chosen Topsoe’s tried-and-true technology for our project after a careful analysis. Project Nujio’qonik will play a significant role in ensuring that Newfoundland and Labrador assumes its position as a preeminent global leader in the fight against climate change and serves as a catalyst for the growth of other renewable hydrogen projects throughout Canada and around the world.
Managing Director for the Americas at Topsoe, Henrik Rasmussen, said:
We are delighted to assist World Energy GH2 in one of the first-to-market renewable hydrogen and ammonia production projects around the globe, demonstrating our dedication to driving the growth of the renewable hydrogen sector.
“The agreement is a strong indication of trust in our cutting-edge technology and a testament to the calibre and breadth of Topsoe’s ammonia production expertise. We are eager to collaborate with World Energy GH2 to help it meet its production goals for 2025.
The Power-to-X initiative includes renewable hydrogen and ammonia, which is a crucial enabler for the energy transition.
Topsoe’s Sundus Cordelia Ramli, CCO Power-to-X, stated:
We require initiatives like Nujio’qonik. Large-scale initiatives that can provide the necessary renewable chemicals and fuels to decarbonize industries like steel, aviation, and shipping.
“Much more commercial-size plants are required on a global scale, but the World Energy GH2 project demonstrates that it is possible to do so.”
