Canadian start-up EverWind Fuels has secured the first environmental approval for the first phase of its commercial-scale green hydrogen and green ammonia plant in North America.
Provincial authorities in Canada have permitted EverWind to turn an old oil storage facility and marine terminal at Point Tupper in Nova Scotia into a green hydrogen and ammonia production hub.
Green hydrogen differs from traditional hydrogen only in its method of production; it is created by running water through electrolysers to separate the hydrogen and oxygen atoms, with the equipment driven by renewable energy, resulting in no carbon emissions that aggravate climate change.
