ABO Wind has selected Worley Consulting to complete a feasibility study for a renewable energy and hydrogen project in Newfoundland and Labrador.
This next step follows recently announced new hires for the Project in the province, based out of ABO Wind’s St. John’s office.
Toqlukuti’k Wind and Hydrogen Ltd. is a multi-phased, integrated project that will harness the province’s world-class wind to provide green ammonia for export to the global market and green hydrogen to further decarbonize the low carbon fuels produced at Braya Renewable Fuels’ refinery in Come By Chance, the company said in a news release.
In August 2023, ABO Wind was awarded the exclusive right to pursue development of its Toqlukuti’k Wind and Hydrogen Ltd. Project through the Crown Land Call for Bids for Wind Energy Projects. Following this milestone, ABO Wind launched a bidding process to procure engineering services to conduct a Feasibility Study for the Project. Several international, world-class companies that could complete such a study were invited to submit bids.
Through the Feasibility Study, ABO Wind will work together with Worley to analyze all aspects of the Project’s conceptualization to set the basis for the next development stages. This includes analyzing alternatives of the original Project plan, designing facilities, estimating costs related to electricity production and transmission as well as hydrogen (and derivatives) production, storage, and reviewing domestic and international offtake opportunities.
Worley Consulting is a global community of consultants, scientists, engineers, and digital experts dedicated to solving the world’s critical energy, chemicals and resource challenges. Worley Consulting will be working on the study until July 2024, and will provide a thorough report at that time to ABO Wind. Information from the Feasibility Study will help ABO Wind set up Toqlukuti’k Wind and Hydrogen Ltd. for success at this early stage.
