The inexperienced hydrogen undertaking of EverWind Fuels in Nova Scotia is progressing with the completion of the front-end engineering design (FEED) and front-end loading engineering (FEL-3).
The completion of the FEED with Black & Veatch for the primary section of the inexperienced hydrogen to inexperienced ammonia undertaking in Level Tupper, Nova Scotia, “marks a significant milestone” and represents the primary introduced completion of FEED for a large-scale inexperienced hydrogen and inexperienced ammonia manufacturing facility in North America, EverWind stated in a information launch Tuesday. The primary section of EverWind’s undertaking is designed to supply roughly 240,000 metric tons each year of inexperienced ammonia.
The undertaking will use cutting-edge proton alternate membrane (PEM) electrolyzers, and ammonia synthesis expertise from Casale S.A. to transform water from the man-made Landrie Lake and power primarily from newly-built wind farms into inexperienced hydrogen and inexperienced ammonia, based on the discharge.

Engineering work for the undertaking started within the first quarter of 2022. The environmental evaluation approval was obtained in February 2023, with building on monitor to start later this 12 months, and first manufacturing anticipated in 2026.
Additional, EverWind and its First Nations companions Membertou, Paqtnkek, and Potlotek, are creating the Windy Ridge, Kmtnuk, and Bear Lake wind farms. Two of the wind farms have obtained environmental approval and all three are anticipated to be operational by the top of 2026, the corporate said.
“We’re thrilled to be among the many first globally to have accomplished FEED engineering for our inexperienced hydrogen and inexperienced ammonia manufacturing facility,” EverWind CEO and Founder Trent Vichie stated.
“This accomplishment is consultant of the detailed and essential trailblazing work that EverWind is doing to allow our undertaking to drive down the price of the power transition – work that’s required to safe long-term, multi-billion greenback contracts. This marks a major step ahead in our mission to develop a inexperienced fuels hub in Atlantic Canada, and we stay up for persevering with our work with Black & Veatch, a world chief in engineering and building providers as we transfer in the direction of building and operations”.

EverWind describes itself as North America’s main unbiased inexperienced hydrogen developer. The corporate obtained the primary Environmental Approval in North America for a large-scale inexperienced hydrogen undertaking, and is effectively progressed in design, engineering, and improvement for the primary section of each its inexperienced power era tasks and the manufacturing facility which is able to convert this power into inexperienced hydrogen and inexperienced ammonia.
In March, EverWind signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Eastward Power to reinforce inexperienced hydrogen availability in Nova Scotia. EverWind stated in an earlier launch that the MoU with the Nova Scotia-based power distribution firm encompasses collaborative prospects for advancing and increasing the hydrogen worth chain in Nova Scotia.
