Description
Evolugen, the Canadian operating business of Brookfield Renewable, and Gazifère Inc., an Enbridge company, are teaming on a green hydrogen project for injection into a natural gas distribution network in Quebec, Canada.
The Quebec-based companies, as part of a collaboration formed to advance the development and use of green hydrogen, announced plans to build and operate an approximately 20 MW water electrolysis hydrogen production plant in the Outaouais region.
The plant will be built in the Masson sector of the City of Gatineau, adjacent to Evolugen’s hydroelectric facilities, which will power the electrolyzer. An estimated capacity of approximately 425,000 GJ of green hydrogen will be produced for injection into Gazifère’s natural gas distribution network, making this the first project of its kind in Canada.
The Government of Canada is investing CAD $3.3m in Gazifère Inc. for the project.
