    Hogan says “With our commitment to net zero by 2050, strong environmental, social, and governance practices, and a wealth of resources in renewable energy and critical minerals, Newfoundland and Labrador is perfectly positioned to meet the world’s energy needs at this time of transition.”

    Premier John Hogan signed a MOU with the Port of Amsterdam while attending the World Hydrogen Summit and Exhibition in the Netherlands.  It’s a high-level agreement to collaborate and share information on green hydrogen issues, opportunities, and potential projects. Attending the signing were representatives from Evos, a developer of large-scale hydrogen import facilities at the Port, and North Atlantic Refining Limited, which is developing a wind to hydrogen project for the export of Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers, a hydrogen derivative, to ports in Europe including Amsterdam. Newfoundland and Labrador currently has six wind hydrogen projects in development and Europe is a key export market. Hogan says “With our commitment to net zero by 2050, strong environmental, social, and governance practices, and a wealth of resources in renewable energy and critical minerals, Newfoundland and Labrador is perfectly positioned to meet the world’s energy needs at this time of transition.”
