During a visit from a government and business delegation from Belgium, Newfoundland and Labrador signed a memorandum of understanding with the Port of Antwerp-Bruges.
“Newfoundland and Labrador is on the frontier of a new global industry,” said Kieran Hanley, econext‘s CEO. “We have the clean energy resources to help our European allies decarbonize their economies, and agreements like this one help facilitate that trade relationship.”
“There are six wind-to-hydrogen developments being pursued in our province totaling over 23GW,” said Hanley. “These projects are significant on a global scale and will position Newfoundland and Labrador as an international leader in hydrogen production.”
Hanley said that coordination is required between jurisdictions that can supply clean energy and those that will be customers for it. “Relationships like the one that we are seeing develop here are important for success.”
