EverWind granted right to pursue development for multi-phased green energy production and storage facility

ST. JOHN’S — EverWind Fuels, a Canadian green hydrogen developer, has been awarded the exclusive right to pursue the development of EverWind’s green fuels project on the Burin Peninsula of Newfoundland of Labrador.

EverWind’s successful bid was announced on August 30, as part of the Province’s Crown Land Call for Bids by Andrew Parsons, Minister of Innovation, Energy and Technology, Government of Newfoundland and Labrador.

“This is a monumental day for EverWind and the communities on the Burin Peninsula,” said Trent Vichie, CEO and founder of EverWind. “We have been working on, and investing in this project since March 2022, and we are truly honoured to have been selected by the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador as one of the successful projects. We are excited to now be able to deliver on our development, combining the province’s world-class, untapped wind resource with the skills, resiliency and experience of the supportive communities, labour force and businesses of Newfoundland and Labrador.”

For its Burin Peninsula Green Fuels Energy Project, EverWind will convert renewable power from wind into green hydrogen and then into green ammonia. This will then be transported safely around the world and used as green fertilizer as well as a green energy. EverWind’s wind farms are expected to be generating power on the Burin Peninsulaby 2027.

“We are thankful for the significant support EverWind has received from the Burin Peninsula,” said Sam Imbeault, EverWind’s Newfoundland Operations Lead. “We will continue to work closely with the Burin Peninsula Energy Board and communities throughout the region to deliver a transformational green energy project, which will help ensure the environmental, social and economic prosperity of the Peninsula for generations to come. Thank you to all who consulted with us and showed support during this important process.”
