EverWind Fuels has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Canadian compatriot Eastward Energy to enhance green hydrogen availability in Nova Scotia. EverWind said in a media release that the MoU with the Nova Scotia-based energy distribution company encompasses collaborative prospects for advancing and expanding the hydrogen value chain in Nova Scotia.
These involve activities such as increasing demand through the blending of hydrogen with natural gas to minimize emissions. Additionally, Eastward and EverWind will work together to investigate potential ventures related to the storage, conveyance, and dissemination of green hydrogen.
“The future of energy is changing and we’re changing with it. Our sights are set on developing sustainable energy solutions like green hydrogen that will support Nova Scotia’s transition to net-zero emissions and lead to an energy future that’s clean. Eastward Energy’s hydrogen-ready gas distribution system, supported by large-scale green hydrogen projects like EverWind’s, will enable an accelerated energy transition in Nova Scotia”, John Hawkins, President of Eastward Energy, said.
“We are looking forward to partnering with EverWind to deliver green hydrogen to decarbonize sectors that will be difficult to electrify such as heavy transportation, industrial facilities, and some large commercial, residential and institutional buildings”.
“This partnership will enable us to provide Eastward Energy's customers with green energy options and support the development of hydrogen infrastructure in the province. This is a first step toward setting up the supply chains necessary to transition Nova Scotia’s energy sectors from imported fossil fuels to locally produced clean fuels”, Trent Vichie, CEO of EverWind Fuels, added.
