Argentia Renewables

Port of Argentia, Newfoundland and Labrador

Located at the Port of Argentia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Argentia Renewables is a renewable energy powered green hydrogen and ammonia production and export facility.

The project will utilize Newfoundland & Labrador’s outstanding wind resource to produce cost-competitive, green fuels readily available for export to global markets.

  • Our approach to building successful facilities is to work closely with residents in a way that is respectful and fits the needs of the landowners and communities that host us. We seek to build partnerships and bring long-term benefits to where we operate. We prioritize relationship building and open communication and aim to address and incorporate feedback, and further local benefits.

The project is expected to consist of approximately 300 megawatts of installed wind power and will power the production of green hydrogen, through the process of electrolysis, at a world-class hydrogen electrolyzer facility located at the Port of Argentia.

Carbon-free ammonia will be produced using the green hydrogen, which can be safely stored and shipped to end-use customers around the world.

FAQ

What is Green Hydrogen?

u003cp class=u0022p2u0022u003eHydrogen is currently produced at scale around the world for myriad industrial applications, including chemical/steel/concrete manufacturing, oil refining, and more. At present however, the current means of hydrogen production rely heavily on fossil fuels. Green hydrogen generated from renewable electricity such as solar or wind power by electrolysis, can help decarbonize our power and fuel supply and create new pathways for economic development.u003c/pu003e

Why is Green Hydrogen Important?

u003cp class=u0022p2u0022u003eGreen hydrogen has two classes of use—decarbonize economic sectors that are hard to electrify; and replace natural gas/oil with clean electricity in chemical manufacturing processes—allowing it to offer the only clear pathway to decarbonizing parts of our economy that electrification can’t reach, such as heavy industry and transport. This allows for the utilization of existing infrastructure in energy transition, saving sorely needed capital for use in other areas.u003c/pu003e
