Description
The Exploits Valley Renewable Energy Corporation project in Newfoundland has officially received Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) guidelines to advance its green hydrogen and ammonia facility. The project plans to use over 3 GW of wind energy to produce 180,000 tons of green hydrogen and 1 million tons of green ammonia annually. With construction prep underway, it aims to position the province as a global player in clean energy exports.

CF Industries, JERA, and Mitsui are building the world’s largest low-carbon ammonia plant in Louisiana. The facility will capture and store 2.3 million metric tons of CO₂ annually with help from 1PointFive’s sequestration hub. Production begins in 2029 and the project is expected to qualify for 45Q tax credits.
Microsoft signed a deal to support AtmosClear’s Louisiana project, set to remove 6.75 million tons of CO₂ over 15 years. The project uses bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) to turn sugarcane bagasse and forest waste into energy while sequestering emissions. Construction begins in 2026, with operations starting in 2029.
North Atlantic is moving forward with a green hydrogen project in Newfoundland, using LOHCs instead of ammonia for safer, circular transport. The facility will produce 30,000 tonnes of hydrogen annually, powered by a 320-megawatt wind farm. Construction is expected to begin in 2026, with operations starting in 2029.
Microsoft signed a 12-year deal with CO280 to remove 3.7 million tons of biogenic CO₂ from pulp and paper mills using carbon capture technology. The project captures emissions from burning “black liquor” and stores them underground near the Gulf Coast. First operations begin in 2028, with plans to scale across 10+ sites.
Rice University and ExxonMobil signed a long-term research partnership to develop sustainable energy solutions. Their first project focuses on cleaning produced water from oil and gas operations, with potential to recover ammonia and produce hydrogen. More collaborative projects are expected to follow in support of global decarbonization.
Technip Energies was awarded a FEED contract for Jet Zero’s bioethanol-to-SAF project in Australia. The plant will produce 102 million liters of sustainable aviation fuel and 11 million liters of renewable diesel annually by 2028. The project uses Technip’s and LanzaJet’s technologies to cut aviation emissions by up to 70%.
Geomega and Rio Tinto are advancing a pilot project that extracts valuable materials from bauxite residue while significantly reducing waste. The process recycles over 95% of reagents and includes plans to scale up rare earth and titanium recovery. The next phase of the project is underway, with Circuit 3 testing planned for 2025.
The Canadian Hydrogen Convention returns to Edmonton from April 22–24, 2025, featuring site tours, technical sessions, and networking events. Industry leaders, government reps, and EU delegates will discuss hydrogen’s future in North America and beyond. The event highlights Canada’s growing role in the global hydrogen economy.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and SBM Offshore are studying how to apply CO₂ capture modules on future FPSOs for Petrobras. The system uses MHI’s Advanced KM CDR Process™ to capture emissions from onboard gas turbines. The goal is to commercialize offshore carbon capture and support global carbon neutrality.
U.S. Energy Corp. has acquired 2,300 net acres and a permitted CO2 injection well in Montana to support its carbon capture and industrial gas strategy. The infrastructure will enable permanent CO2 storage from its upcoming gas facility and strengthen its clean helium platform. The move positions the company as a key player in scalable, low-emission energy operations.
