Project TAQAMKUK is one of the largest green hydrogen hubs currently planned globally.
3,000 MW Wind Energy
The source of energy will be one of the largest wind farms ever planned globally, with 3,000 MW energy capacity, in a location with excellent conditions for wind energy.
Electricity Storage
Large Battery Electric Storage System (BESS) will store electricity temporarily to compensate for variations in the wind intensity over the hours of the day and the days of the year.
Hydrogen and Ammonia
The facilities will produce annually approximately 250,000 metric tonnes (mt) of green hydrogen that will be converted into more 1.2 million mt of green ammonia for export.
Loading Facilities
A purpose-built loading facility at the production site will allow ammonia to be delivered directly to ships without the need for overland pipelines or the use of existing port facilities.
Location of Wind Farm
The wind farms will be located on the southern tip of the Burin Peninsula (general area shown in the image above). The southern Burin Peninsula is an ideal location because it is not densely populated and has strong winds that are usually only found at offshore wind sites.
Employment
The Project will create an estimated up to 4,000 direct construction jobs and over 250 direct operations jobs.
Location of Industrial Facility
The industrial complex for the production, storage and shipping of hydrogen and ammonia is planned for a site in the town of St Lawrence on the Burin Peninsula.
Start from 2025
Our objective is start production and delivery at full capacity in 2027. A ramp-up plan will allow first shipments of lesser quantities as early as 2025.
