The Port of Rotterdam has plans to create an international hub for hydrogen production, import, application and transport to other countries in Northwest Europe and will use EverWind’s projects in Atlantic Canada to support this.

The company recently completed a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) on a large-scale green hydrogen and ammonia production facility located in North America. In addition, EverWind received the green light for its project in Nova Scotia, Canada, in February last year (2023).

H2 View understands that three times as much energy is now transported through Rotterdam than is consumed in the whole of the Netherlands, with expectations to import 18 million tonnes of hydrogen via the Port in 2050.

“Rotterdam has been a trusted hub for decades,” explained Boudewijn Siemons, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority. “It is now ready and able to make the switch to hydrogen, and we are excited for EverWind’s green hydrogen and green ammonia production to be among the first volumes from North America to land in Europe.”

Trent Vichie, Founder and CEO of EverWind Fuels, added, “We’re confident that our projects in Atlantic Canada will produce the greenest, most cost-competitive green hydrogen in North America to decarbonise carbon-intensive processes domestically and abroad.”
