To be located in the Bay St. George region of Newfoundland and Labrador (NL), Project Nujio’qonik is an intended US$12 billion renewable hydrogen investment being developed in phases by World Energy GH2 to decarbonize the hard-to-abate sectors globally.
World Energy GH2 will supply 250 000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen per year to global markets at the completion of its renewable hydrogen project. Project Nujio’qonik will use wind energy power for production on the site, which is expected to begin producing hydrogen in 2025.
Project Nujio’qonik is one of Canada’s first-to-market projects to produce hydrogen and ammonia at scale using renewable wind energy and is a key cornerstone of the country’s agreement with Germany to stimulate hydrogen production by 2025. Following a rigorous analysis, we are pleased to have selected Topsoe’s proven technology for our project. Project Nujio’qonik will be instrumental in ensuring Newfoundland and Labrador takes its place as a preeminent global leader in the fight against climate change and becomes a catalyst for the development of other renewable hydrogen projects across Canada and across the world, said John Risley, Chairman of World Energy GH2.
Topsoe’s ammonia loop technology will be used to generate up to 1 650 tonnes per day of renewable ammonia on the site.
We are very pleased to support World Energy GH2 in one of the world’s first-to-market renewable hydrogen and ammonia production projects, highlighting our commitment to lead the development of the renewable hydrogen industry. The agreement is a testament to the quality and depth of Topsoe’s ammonia production expertise and a huge sign of confidence in our world-leading technology. We look forward to working with World Energy GH2 to deliver on its targets for production in 2025, said Henrik Rasmussen, Managing Director, the Americas at Topsoe.
Renewable hydrogen and ammonia are under the Power-to-X umbrella, and according to Topsoe, a key enablers to make the energy transition happen.
We need projects like Nujio’qonik. Large-scale projects can deliver the call for renewable fuels and chemicals to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors like steel, aviation, and shipping. On a global scale, many more commercial-size plants are needed, but World Energy GH2’s project bears testimony to the fact, that it can be done, said Sundus Cordelia Ramli, CCO of Power-to-X at Topsoe.
