Topsoe, a global leader in carbon emission reduction technologies, has been chosen by World Energy GH2 to supply the dynamic ammonia loop technology for Project Nujio’qonik, Canada’s largest renewable hydrogen project.
Project Nujio’qonik, located in the Bay St. George region of Newfoundland and Labrador, aims to produce renewable hydrogen on a large scale to decarbonize sectors that are difficult to abate. The project, with an intended investment of USD $12 billion, plans to supply 250,000 metric tons of renewable hydrogen per year to global markets using wind energy power. Production is expected to begin in 2025.
Topsoe’s ammonia loop technology will be used to generate up to 1,650 metric tons per day of renewable ammonia on the site. This technology, chosen after a rigorous analysis, will play a crucial role in ensuring Newfoundland and Labrador takes a leading position in the fight against climate change and encourages the development of other renewable hydrogen projects in Canda and around the world.
The agreement with World Energy GH2 demonstrates Topsoe’s commitment to leading the development of the renewable hydrogen industry. Henrik Rasmussen, Managing Director, the Americas, at Topsoe, expressed their satisfaction with supporting one of the world’s first-to-market renewable hydrogen and ammonia production projects. He highlighted the quality and depth of Topsoe’s ammonia production expertise and their confidence in their world-leading technology. Topsoe looks forward to working with World Energy GH2 to achieve their production targets for 2025.
Renewable hydrogen and ammonia are essential components of the power-to-X concept and are crucial in facilitating the energy transition. Commercial-scale plants like Project Nujio’qonik are necessary to deliver renewable fuels and chemicals and decarbonize industries such as steel, aviation, and shipping.
World Energy GH2 is a Newfoundland and Labrador-based renewable energy company. Project Nujio’qonik, a cnsortium of Canadian and international partners, aims to create Canada’s first commercial green hydrogen/ammonia producer from 3+ gigawatts of wind energy, harnessing the province’s strong wind resources.
Topsoe, founded in 1940, is a leading developer and supplier of decarbonization technology, catalysts, and services for the energy transition. Their mission is to combat climate change by helping partners and customers achieve their decarbonization and emission-reduction goals across various sectors. They are dedicated to realizing a sustainable future through advancements in carbon reduction chemicals, renewable fuels, and plastic upcycling.
