Nova Scotia touted its huge ‘green’ energy plant. Turns out it’s powered by coal

The green' hydrogen produced to deliver ammonia to Europe will be partly powered by the fossil fuel in the beginning, a joint investigation found

In mid-September, the government of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia announced a blockbuster, 5bn-watt green" hydrogen plant.

The plant was meant to deliver 200,000 tonnes of ammonia to Europe each year, without the use of fossil fuels.

Heading into November there is no prospect green power will be available by the time the EverWind Fuels facility begins operations, the Energy Mix and Halifax Examiner have learned in a joint investigation in partnership with the Guardian.
