North Atlantic says there are several differences with its green hydrogen project and ones that have fallen by the wayside in this province.
The company is pushing ahead with its proposal in the Come By Chance area at a time when many others across the province have had to halt their plans.
Jeff Murphy, the VP of capital projects at North Atlantic, says their project is “more modest” and “somewhat smaller” than others.
As well, he says they are basing their plans out of existing infrastructure at the Come By Chace refinery, which will help keep the costs down – including for delivery to Europe.
Murphy says based on current work, they are looking at a three-year construction window to get everything ready.
That would begin in 2027, meaning first deliveries to Europe would be made sometime in 2030.
Based on discussions with offtakers, he says that would align nicely with the start of the green hydrogen industry in Europe.
