US EditionAs hydrogen hype meets reality in Newfoundland, companies eye markets closer to home
- On June 4, 2025, executives from six companies discussed challenges and opportunities for wind-powered green hydrogen projects at a conference in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.
- The meeting followed significant policy turmoil in the U.S. Under President Trump, which caused declining support for clean energy and delayed hydrogen market development.
- Pattern Energy and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, represented by Frank Davis and Karlis Povisils, plan wind-hydrogen and ammonia facilities in eastern Newfoundland while focusing on supplying local grid demand.
- Davis said Canada can become a more attractive renewable energy investment destination amid U.S. Uncertainty, noting the wind-hydrogen sector 'could be more of a marathon than a sprint.'
- This outlook suggests Canada may lead in renewable investments despite slower commercialization and difficulties securing buyers for green hydrogen, as echoed by multiple industry leaders.
