PORT HAWKESBURY, N.S. — has announced it has received $22.5 million in funding through Transport Canada’s Green Shipping Corridor Fund to support marine and shore-side infrastructure development at EverWind’s Point Tupper Terminal in Nova Scotia.
The project will boost EverWind’s efforts to create a hub for green hydrogen and ammonia production and transportation at Point Tupper, stated a release.
The work will involve upgrading existing marine terminal infrastructure for green fuel handling, the installation of a green ammonia loading arm, and development of green ammonia supply pipelines.
