Green Hydrogen International (GHI)<\/span><\/a> has recently presented a plan to construct a green hydrogen production and storage project to be built in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. The project is set to be built in phases up to 500 GW, securing a source of green hydrogen for European and North American markets.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Named the Spirit of Scotia, the project is the company\u2019s second gigascale green hydrogen complex and calls for the development of hydrogen storage facilities in salt formations across the province. Underground salt storage is essential and enables a lower production cost as well as the <\/span>ability to guarantee delivery to customers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The company has obtained mineral exploration licences across most of the known storage-grade salt formations in the province.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Recently, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau <\/span>signed a deal<\/span><\/a> for Germany to import green hydrogen from Canada. Prime Minister Trudeau reiterated Canada\u2019s commitment to helping Europe meet its energy needs, now and in the future, including through support for hydrogen and critical minerals.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Nova Scotia is well positioned to support Europe with its green hydrogen requirements, with easy access to European energy markets, abundant offshore wind resources, and storage-grade salt formations. Large-scale production will soon be cost-competitive with hydrocarbons due to the declining cost curve of offshore wind power. Nova Scotia is set to become a key global player in green hydrogen production.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe importance of this development for European and North American markets<\/h3>\n
