Infinite Green Energy and Red Earth Energy selected Canada as the ideal location for the new H2 Canada JV for the production of green H2. The JV chose Canada because of its abundance of fresh water, hydroelectricity and wind energy potential.
Additionally, the JV will form partnerships with Indigenous First Nations communities in Canada to support and supply green H2 to a new, developing Canadian domestic market and export markets in Europe, Asia, the U.S. and the Americas.
Several locations have been identified and all are progressing at different stages.
The JV plans to initially reduce carbon emissions in Canada by 120,000 tpy and create large economic opportunities in the renewable energy space.
“It’s a great pleasure to join with Red Earth Energy to deliver H2 Canada working in partnership with First Nations traditional landowners,” said Infinite Green Energy, chief executive officer Stephen Gauld. “Canada is an ideal location to enable green hydrogen delivery into the American and European markets.”
Frontier Impact Group managing director Jennifer Patterson expressed the company’s belief that green H2 has an important role to play in the energy transition and expected to leveraging its experience in the Australia market with its partners to achieve impactful results in Canada.
“Red Earth Energy will leverage the expertise of Infinite Green Energy, the leading green hydrogen company in Australia and internationally and Frontier Impact Group, a climate solutions investment and advisory firm who are pioneering the transition of Australia to net carbon zero, to hit the ground running in Canada,” said Red Earth Energy managing director Peter Walsh.
