In a first-of-its-kind in Canada, a hydrogen and ammonia project will be established as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as well as German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will certainly sign an agreement for the growth of green energy in Newfoundland. This agreement is being seen as a significant advancement in the hydrogen industry of Canada.

CFFI Ventures Inc. that is led by billionaire John Risley is likewise involved in the project.

World Energy GH2 preserved that the First Phase of the onshore wind power project will certainly require the construction of 164 generators to provide energy to the proposed hydrogen manufacturing facility at Stephenville.
