TESCanada H2 proposes US$3.9B green hydrogen project for Québec

TESCanada H2 Inc., a Canadian developer of projects aimed at accelerating the energy transition, is proposing Projet Mauricie, a green hydrogen production site that upon commissioning in 2028 will produce 70,000 tonnes of green hydrogen exclusively dedicated to Québec end users.

Totalling $4 billion in investments for the region, the Projet Mauricie consists of the construction of an electrolyzer and renewable energy production assets.

With the aim of reducing annual CO₂ emissions by 800,000 tonnes, it is amongst the largest decarbonization projects announced in Québec to date.

Approximately one-third of the green hydrogen produced will be dedicated to decarbonizing long-haul transportation, which accounts for nearly 10% of Québec’s annual emissions. The remaining volumes will be used to produce e-NG (electric renewable natural gas), a sustainable drop-in solution for hard-to-abate industries. TES Canada’s project alone will contribute to achieving 3% of Québec’s GHG reduction targets by 2030.

The majority of the project’s energy needs will be met by its own 1 GW wind and solar farm.

Considering Québec’s energy context, the project’s behind-the-meter assets will minimize the energy drawn from Hydro-Québec’s grid, while also offering optimization opportunities, including loadshedding during peak winter periods.

TES Canada is launching a local stakeholder information and consultation process.

Headquartered in Montréal, TES Canada develops innovative green hydrogen projects in various regions of the country. Its main shareholder, Tree Energy Solutions, is a global renewable energy company building large scale projects in Australia, Europe, the Middle East, United States and Asia.
