Everwind advances Novia Scotia hydrogen project

Developer aims to develop Point Tupper storage terminal into regional hydrogen and ammonia hub

Canadian developer Everwind Fuels has acquired the Point Tupper energy storage terminal in Novia Scotia from Texas-based Nustar Energy for $60mn, with the aim of developing the site into a green hydrogen hub for eastern Canada. Green hydrogen production at the site on the Strait of Canso, near Port Hawkesbury, could start as early as 2025, with a potential electrolyser capacity of 200MW.
