Hy2gen reaches milestone for ammonia project in Canada
Hy2gen's COURANT project was awarded the contract last year for a capacity of 307 MW to produce 230,000 tons of renewable ammonia per year.
Hy2gen Canada Inc., the Canadian subsidiary of global renewable hydrogen producer Hy2gen, has submitted the project notification for the COURANT project, a renewable ammonia production facility, to Quebec's Minister of the Environment. This milestone marks the end of the planning phase. As a next step, the Quebec Minister of the Environment will set guidelines for an environmental impact study to be conducted by Hy2gen. The purpose of the environmental impact study is to assess the proposed project to ensure safety and minimal environmental impact.
Hy2gen is confident it can meet these expectations as the company is in close contact with regional political and industrial stakeholders. Since 2023, Hy2gen has held rounds of talks with the regional government, municipal representatives, industry experts, members of local economic and environmental interest groups and local residents.
Renewable ammonia to reduce Canada's emissions
The 230,000 tonnes of ammonia produced by Project COURANT per year will be used to decarbonize the local mining industry and help the region around Baie-Comeau, where the plant is being built, to reduce its CO₂ emissions.
The COURANT project is an important economic driver. It will create up to 1,000 jobs during the construction phase and around 300 permanent jobs once it is up and running. The project aims to strengthen the city of Baie-Comeau as a business location by creating partnerships with local, regional and provincial companies.
It is important for Hy2gen to achieve both a positive social and a positive environmental impact with the COURANT project. Hy2gen continues to be in close contact with the Innu of the Pessamit community and will develop partnerships to realize the project that respect their values and priorities.
One of the largest renewable ammonia plants in North America
With an electrolyzer capacity of 300 MW, Hy2gen's COURANT project will be one of the largest ammonia production facilities in North America when it comes online in 2030. Reaching this advanced stage in project development for COURANT demonstrates that similar ammonia production plants that Hy2gen is developing in North and South America and Northern Europe can also be successful. Through this global network of production facilities, Hy2gen plans to supply Europe with renewable fuels such as ammonia to support the decarbonization of the economy.
