– The project is considered one of the most advanced green hydrogen export projects globally and is seen as a catalyst for the green energy industry in Atlantic Canada and beyond.
The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador has approved World Energy GH2’s Project Nujio’qonik to proceed after an intensive evaluation of the environmental impact statement (EIS) for a wind-to-green hydrogen project. The project has met provincial environmental assessment act requirements and will move forward with conditions and permits. The environmental assessment involved over 30 baseline studies and environmental protection plans, with input from the Qalipu First Nation and a 27-member assessment committee representing various government departments. World Energy GH2 views Project Nujio’qonik as a leading green hydrogen export project globally and appreciates the government’s diligence in the assessment process.
The decision to advance Project Nujio’qonik is seen as a significant step towards solidifying Newfoundland and Labrador’s position as a global leader in renewable green energy production. The project, supported by investors like SK ecoplant, aims to provide opportunities while minimizing environmental impact. The province’s commitment to climate action and positioning in the green energy industry is highlighted as a positive move for Newfoundlanders and Canadians. The next steps for the project include updating plans, securing permits, and progress towards a final investment decision in early 2025. The project is seen as a catalyst for green energy development in Atlantic Canada and beyond.
