Nova Scotia is home to some of the world’s best offshore wind resources, with the potential to turn the province into a global renewable energy powerhouse. The Roadmap, announced June 15, 2023, provides clear routes to market, with seabed leases in the Nova Scotia jurisdiction available as early as 2024, and in Canada-NovaScotia jointly managed jurisdictions as early as 2025. The Roadmap will also help Nova Scotia meet its climate change goals while also contributing to the global effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
“Nova Scotia’s offshore wind represents one of the largest and most exciting untapped renewable energy resources in the entire world, with over 100GW of offshore power generation off the coast of Nova Scotia,” said Trent Vichie, CEO of EverWind. “EverWind’s green hydrogen and ammonia production provides the perfect green energy hub to harness the opportunity for green fuels production to decarbonize the world.”
EverWind’s marine terminal in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia is perfectly situated to become a multi-user terminal for offshore wind generators. Wind power can be converted at EverWind’s site into green hydrogen or ammonia for local usage, long-distance transport, or large-scale energy storage. EverWind’s base of operations includes over 3,000 acres of industrial-zoned land which cn host well over 20GW of electrolyzers with shipping capacity to deliver 20 million tonnes of green ammonia or 4 million tonnes of green hydrogen. This includes a terminal with the safest track record in North America with 17 years without a lost time incident. The terminal is the deepest port on the east coast of North America and has access to adjacent rail and road.
