The global push for decarbonization has given rise to innovative partnerships, and the recent announcement between Abraxas Power Corp. and McDermott International, Ltd. is a prime example. Abraxas Power, a leader in energy transition development, has selected McDermott, a renowned engineering and construction company, as its Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) partner for a groundbreaking green hydrogen and ammonia production facility in Central Newfoundland, Canada.
Green hydrogen and ammonia are clean-burning fuels produced using renewable energy sources like wind and solar power. They hold immense promise in decarbonizing various hard-to-abate sectors, such as heavy industry and shipping. This project marks a significant step towards a cleaner future, not just for Canada, but for the entire world.
Abraxas Power is a company with a clear mission: to accelerate the energy transition and create value by tackling the challenges of a carbon-neutral future. Their diverse team boasts extensive experience in financing, leading, and navigating the complexities of energy transition projects. Their impressive track record includes delivering large-scale developments across renewable power, hydrogen production, and infrastructure construction. Abraxas is a company that not only delivers results but also prioritizes creating value for stakeholders and communities.
McDermott International brings a wealth of industry expertise to the table. With a global presence and a proven track record in engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC), they are a formidable partner for Abraxas Power. Their involvement in this project ensures the highest quality, well-managed execution, minimizing potential risks.
The Exploits Valley Renewable Energy Project is a true marvel of engineering. This first-of-its-kind facility will house a massive wind farm capable of generating a staggering 3.5 gigawatts (GW) of electricity, enough to power millions of homes. Additionally, a 150-megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic (PV) installation will further contribute to the project's clean energy generation.
The green magic doesn't stop there. The facility will boast the capacity to produce 165,000 tonnes of hydrogen and 5,000 metric tons of ammonia per day. This clean-burning fuel will be exported to Europe, other global markets, and even domestically, supporting Canada's own energy transition efforts.

The Exploits Valley Project isn't just about generating clean energy; it's about creating a positive environmental and economic impact. By reducing reliance on fossil fuels, this project will significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a cleaner and healthier planet.
The economic benefits are equally promising. The project is expected to create significant job opportunities, stimulating the local economy of Central Newfoundland. Additionally, the long-term financial benefits for stakeholders involved are undeniable.
This partnership leverages the unique strengths of both companies. Abraxas Power brings its development and financing expertise, while McDermott contributes its unparalleled engineering and construction capabilities. This synergy positions the project for success, paving the way for potential future collaborations and even bigger ventures.
Large-scale projects like this inevitably encounter hurdles. Technological and logistical challenges, along with regulatory and environmental considerations, need to be addressed. However, both Abraxas Power and McDermott are committed to overcoming these obstacles. Collaborative efforts with local authorities and stakeholders, along with innovative project management and technological advancements, will ensure the project's smooth execution.
The Exploits Valley Project is projected to be completed within a set timeframe, with key phases meticulously planned. Once operational, it has the potential to revolutionize the green hydrogen and ammonia industry, impacting the global energy market in a profound way. This project serves as a stepping stone for further advancements in clean energy technology, paving the way for a more sustainable future.
The Abraxas Power and McDermott partnership is a testament to the power of collaboration in tackling the climate crisis. This groundbreaking project showcases the immense potential of green hydrogen and ammonia in a carbon-neutral future. As we move forward, let us support such initiatives and work collectively to build a cleaner, greener world for generations to come.
