Global green energy and metals company Fortescue has taken a step toward establishing a major green energy hub in Prince George.The project is led by Australian businessman Dr. Andrew Forrest, the executive chairman and founder of Fortescue.
The company has submitted an initial project description and early engagement plan with the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office proposing the construction of a large-scale green hydrogen and ammonia production facility. The project would be a $2 billion capital investment and has the potential to result in a wide range of benefits for the local community including more than 250 direct jobs during the construction phase, and over100 permanent, direct jobs during the operations phase of the project.
The proposed facility would be situated at the Willow Cale Industrial Park in Prince George.
The company said the green ammonia and green hydrogen produced from the potential 1000 MW facility could be exported or used domestically to reduce fossil fuel use and help meet climate targets in B.C. Canada and globally.
