BPA and Cross River partners agree for green hydrogen facility development

The Belledune Port Authority (BPA) on Canada’s east coast has reached an agreement in principle with Cross River Infrastructure Partners from the US to develop a green hydrogen production facility at the northern New Brunswick port.

The Belledune-based project would use 200MW of clean firm power to produce green ammonia fuel for export.

Pending the outcome of feasibility studies, environmental assessments, due diligence and permitting, the hydrogen production facility could come online by 2027.

BPA and Cross River are working with New Brunswick’s public utility to secure certified clean energy already available on the grid to support the first phase of the project.

Situated on the Atlantic Ocean, the Belledune offers some of the shortest transatlantic routes to Europe.

Equipped with four marine terminals, 1,600 acres of industrial-zoned land specialises in the transportation of dry and liquid bulk, as well as breakbulk or project cargo.
