Managing Director and CEO Sean Leet says Project Nujio’qonik continues to be one of the most advanced green hydrogen export projects under development, globally. He says there won’t be enough human resources.
While World Energy GH2 is busy reviewing conditions attached to their environmental assessment, there’s some concern over whether the province’s labour force can meet the needs once construction starts. The company intends to erect hundreds of wind turbines along the southwest coast for wind hydrogen production. Managing Director and CEO Sean Leet says Project Nujio’qonik continues to be one of the most advanced green hydrogen export projects under development, globally. He says there won’t be enough human resources. Leet says there will be about 4200 indirect jobs, 2200 construction jobs, and 400 full time, permanent positions.
Meanwhile, Immigration, Population Growth and Skills Minister Gerry Byrne says hydrogen and alternative energies like wind power are job generators. He says they create economic development in communities from spinoffs and the sheer force of the product they create. Byrne says tradespeople living and working away may want to come home. He says it’s all about putting Newfoundland and Labrador first.
