The Canadian arm of Tree Energy Solutions is developing a $4bn green hydrogen project in Quebec, Canada.
The effort, known as Projet Mauricie, consists of the construction of an electrolyzer and renewable energy production assets, according to a news release.
Upon its commissioning in 2028, the project will produce 70,000 tonnes of green hydrogen exclusively dedicated to Québec end users.
With the aim of reducing annual CO2 emissions by 800,000 tonnes, it is amongst the largest decarbonization projects announced in Québec to date.
The majority of the project’s energy needs will be met by its own 1 GW wind and solar farm.
Considering Québec’s energy context, the project’s behind-the-meter assets will minimize the energy drawn from Hydro-Québec’s grid, while also offering optimization opportunities, including loadshedding during peak winter periods.
