HY2GEN
HY2GEN CANADA
Hy2gen Canada was our first subsidiary and was founded in 2018 in Montreal, Canada. Its business purpose is to develop, own and operate facilities that produce green hydrogen and hydrogen-based feedstock such as bio-methanol and bio-methane, bio-diesel, sustainable aviation fuel and green ammonia. Oxygen can also be monetized as a byproduct of electrolysis-based processes.
Canada is an ideal location for establishing the first Hy2gen’s carbon-free hydrogen production in North America. The central and local governments are strongly committed to the reduction of greenhouse gases by supporting hydrogen business, carbon-free mobility and carbon reduction in the industrial sector. Additionally, Québec offers 100% green energy resulting from hydropower at the required level and the production plants are suitable for Canadian and North American markets.

We are currently pursuing the following projects in Canada:
COURANT
This is a green ammonia project located in Baie-Comeau, Quebec. The location was specifically chosen as it has exceptional port facilities to handle incoming project equipment, world-scale electrical supply infrastructure and a readied industrial park with available amenities and facilities. Due to the entrepreneurial spirit of the local residents, the project has been socially accepted by all stakeholders, i.e., by the community, by its indigenous peoples, by the local chamber of commerce and by local industry. The project’s process configuration will meet Quebec’s project criteria, i.e., to decarbonize Quebec’s industrial infrastructure, to manufacture and use green ammonia within the province, to provide employment in the northern parts of the province and to elevate the region’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The location of the plant will facilitate the development of an industrial ecosystem, where integrated utilities, such as power, water, generated heat and produced steam, and produced hydrogen and oxygen will be used within different industries, beyond our project’s original scope. This type of integration, that will take place over the course of the project’s lifetime.

Due to Canada’s overall attributes, across its geography, Hy2gen Canada is exploring projects to produce, renewable hydrogen for regional needs, renewable ammonia for regional derivative needs as well as for export, renewable methanol for regional needs and for export and finally e-fuel (sustainable aviation fuel, etc.) based on either Fischer-Tropsch or Ethanol based pathways.
We are also looking forward to designing projects in close cooperation with industrial customers in Canada, either by setting up a plant tailored to the requirements of a client or by simply making the supply or renewable energy carriers available.
