Posted on by kieran

For Immediate Release
August 30, 2023

Four companies have been awarded exclusive rights to crown land in Newfoundland and Labrador to pursue wind-to-hydrogen projects.

“This is a major milestone for Newfoundland and Labrador’s clean energy sector,” said Kieran Hanley, CEO of econext. “In fact, this has international significance – our province is on the forefront of a new global green hydrogen energy industry.”

econext has already been hard at work identifying the jobs and skills that would be required for the emerging industry, and helping to prioritize opportunities for R&D and innovation. “Stay tuned for news on the work that we have been doing on these fronts,” said Hanley.

Much still has to occur before proposed projects advance, including environmental assessments, financing, approvals, and more. “Our Annual Conference will explore in detail what’s next for the sector,” said Hanley. econext‘s conference is taking place on October 26 in St. John’s – click here for more information.

“Congratulations to those proponents who have the opportunity to progress their projects in the near term,” said Hanley. “And to those who were unsuccessful this time around – we hope you continue to pursue clean energy developments in Newfoundland and Labrador.”

BioLabMate Composite Inc

Posted on by Alex Rumbolt

BioLabMate, is dedicated to producing biodegradable lab products using sea-weed pellets. We aim to be the first seaweed-pellet company in Canada. Our primary business objective is to create biodegradable lab products from the seaweed pellets and expand the range of similar prototypes for various laboratory applications. Seaweed-based materials, such as bioplastics, present an environmentally friendly alternative to petroleum-based plastics, which significantly contribute to ocean pollution. Seaweed bioplastics, on the other hand, are renewable, biodegradable, and have a reduced environmental impact compared to traditional plastics. This startup venture has the potential to promote local alternatives to land-based agriculture.
