The company says the project will make use of existing infrastructure and regional natural gas supplies to produce the hydrogen, along with the ammonia which is used as a hydrogen carrier.
The project is expected to have a design capacity of up to 185 kilotonnes per year of hydrogen production, which would be converted into about a million tonnes a year of ammonia that would be carried to the west coast via rail.
The company says the project would potentially serve as an anchor to develop a wider low-carbon complex that it could use to attract investment for production hydrogen and hydrogen carriers.
