How does a wind farm make hydrogen?
It’s all about separating the Hs in H2O. But the key is using green energy to do it. Nobody sees a wind turbine and thinks, “Just look at that hydrogen farm!” But the massive wind-energy project being planned in Stephenville is exactly that, or even more accurately, an ammonia farm. The project features 164 wind turbines that would … Continue reading How does a wind farm make hydrogen?

Hydrogen could change the way we fuel our lives
Last week, Canada signed a major energy project with Germany that, once built, will transform the windswept Port au Port peninsula in western Newfoundland and Labrador into a hydrogen-producing energy powerhouse. The first phase of the project involves the construction of 164 new wind turbines in one of the windiest corners of the country. The … Continue reading Hydrogen could change the way we fuel our lives

The need for grants and clear regulation for green hydrogen projects
Green hydrogen production projects are flexible enough to adapt to all the challenges of the energy transition. From taking advantage of the surpluses of a wind energy or photovoltaic energy power plants to avoid curtailments, to continuously producing hydrogen for industry and transport or for seasonal energy storage. Of course, grants and clear regulation are … Continue reading The need for grants and clear regulation for green hydrogen projects

Hydrogen could help solve Europe’s gas addiction
The invasion of Ukraine has shown that reliance on Russian natural gas is an unstable strategy for Europe. Hydrogen power is one tool that could help. In late February, Russia announced that it would send troops into two regions of eastern Ukraine — a precursor to its full-scale invasion days later. Hours after Russia’s announcement, … Continue reading Hydrogen could help solve Europe’s gas addiction
