EverWind Fuels and Eastward Energy have joined forces through a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to bolster the green hydrogen sector within Nova Scotia.
The partnership between EverWind Fuels and Eastward Energy signifies a pivotal step in leveraging green hydrogen as a clean energy alternative. Green hydrogen, produced through water electrolysis powered by renewable energy sources, offers a promising solution to decarbonize sectors that are challenging to electrify. By exploring opportunities for the development of hydrogen infrastructure, the alliance aims to cater to a diverse range of industries, from heavy transport to commercial sectors, thus driving a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
The green hydrogen industry is poised for exponential growth in the coming years, with forecasts indicating its expanding role in the global energy economy. According to market predictions, hydrogen could potentially account for 18% of global energy demand by 2050, with substantial growth prospects across transportation, heating, and industrial applications. Market research estimates suggest that the global green hydrogen market size will skyrocket from $0.89 billion in 2021 to $4.57 billion by 2026, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 38.8%.
Nova Scotia’s green hydrogen initiatives extend beyond provincial borders, contributing to Canada’s broader clean energy objectives and inspiring similar actions worldwide. The development of a robust hydrogen economy in Nova Scotia can stimulate job creation, drive technological innovation, and reduce the region’s carbon footprint significantly. Moreover, the alliance between EverWind Fuels and Eastward Energy serves as a beacon for the broader energy sector, signaling a collective commitment to sustainability-driven partnerships and paving the way for a greener future.
