Dear EverWind Fuels Community,

In May we made the exciting announcement about our partnership with the Port of Rotterdam, which marks an important step in advancing our green hydrogen supply chain. This past month we also took part in events locally, in other parts of the country, and overseas. Read our latest newsletter to discover more on what we’ve been what to and what’s coming up.

Latest news

1. Announcing our partnership with the Port of Rotterdam

We recently shared the news of our partnership with the Port of Rotterdam. As Europe’s largest seaport, the Port of Rotterdam is an important energy port for Northwest Europe and a key distribution channel to Germany’s industrial heartland. Through this partnership, green hydrogen produced from our projects in Atlantic Canada will help the Port of Rotterdam further establish itself as a key part of the hydrogen supply chain.

2. Green Hydrogen Education Challenge for high school students

There’s still time to enter our EverWind Green Hydrogen Education Challenge for high school students!

Open to high school students in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador, entrants must create a 5-minute video explaining green hydrogen, its benefits, and why Atlantic Canada is ideal for its production. The top three videos will win a prize:

• First place: $3,000
• Second place: $1,500
• Third place: $500

Help us spread the word – share this with your network. Contest closes June 14.

3. Members of the EverWind team attend the World Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam, Netherlands

From May 13-15, we were in Rotterdam attending the World Hydrogen Summit. This was a fantastic opportunity to connect with other organizations and leaders in the hydrogen industry.

At the conference, our CFO, Matthew Tinari, and VP of Corporate Development, Matthew Borys, gave presentations on EverWind’s green fuel plans for Atlantic Canada. We also spoke with Rob Jetten, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Climate and Energy Policy, Government of the Netherlands, about the benefits of EverWind’s Atlantic Canada green fuels projects. The Netherlands will play a significant role in global decarbonization including through our partnership with the Port of Rotterdam.

4. Emergency Response Team Training

At EverWind, safety is paramount to everything we do. In our green hydrogen projects, we will be taking the highest degree of safety standards in the proper handling, storage, and use of the fuel. Ensuring our team has proper safety training is critical, which is why members of the EverWind team took part in live fire training exercises with Training Specialties Inc. This was a great day full of important learnings.

5. Invest in Canada Green Hydrogen Blog Series

Our Point Tupper project was featured in Invest in Canada’s Green Hydrogen Blog Series. In the blog, Invest in Canada explores the benefits of green hydrogen, and highlights the innovative projects taking shape in Atlantic Canada. By leveraging wind energy to create green hydrogen, our Nova Scotia and Newfoundland projects will help decarbonize domestic and international fossil fuel use, while creating thousands of jobs.

6. Burin Peninsula: A hub for North America's largest MET campaign

This summer, we’re poised to complete the installation of the final MET towers for our Burin Peninsula Project. Following the successful setup of four MET towers in 2023, equipped with state-of-the-art meteorological and wind data collection instruments, we are set to erect four additional towers and two LiDAR systems by the 2024 summer season. This will bring the total to ten measurement locations across the Burin Peninsula.

MET towers are crucial for wind farm development, collecting essential weather data such as wind speed, direction, precipitation, and temperature. In addition to the new installations, we’ve acquired historical wind resource and site performance data from the St. Lawrence Wind Farm, dating back to 2007. Coupled with ongoing data from the newly installed equipment, EverWind will possess the most comprehensive wind resource data in the province. This also positions the Burin Peninsula as home to one of North America’s most extensive wind measurement campaign.

With these advancements, we’re not only leading the way in wind energy development in Newfoundland, but also setting a benchmark for community-centred project implementation.

7. EverWind’s commitment to community & sustainability in Guysborough

We recently signed a significant Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) with the Municipality of the District of Guysborough (MODG). Under this CBA, we'll be contributing $1,000 per megawatt annually to a community benefits fund. For a 500-megawatt project, this translates to $500,000 each year that will support local initiatives and development.

This partnership will also generate significant commercial tax revenue, further supporting the community's prosperity. We’re dedicated to fostering local growth and sustainability, ensuring that our projects not only support but also empower the communities we operate in.

8. Dinner with the German-Canadian Parliamentary Friendship Group in St. John’s & Halifax

In May, members of the EverWind team attended dinner events hosted by the German-Canadian Parliamentary Friendship Group in St. John’s and Halifax. These were wonderful opportunities to celebrate the strong ties between Canada and Germany, and our shared support for green hydrogen and decarbonization. Thanks to the team at the Embassy of Germany to Canada and the German Delegation for visiting Atlantic Canada!

9. Green hydrogen partnership opportunities between Canada and Germany

Our VP Corporate Development, Matthew Borys, recently visited Germany on a trip to discuss green hydrogen partnership opportunities between Canada and Germany. During the visit, the Canadian delegation, including officials from the federal and provincial governments, as well as leaders from Canada's industry support groups, visited sites around the country while discussing how to achieve Canada and Germany’s joint goals and strategy. Green hydrogen can play an important role in decarbonization of German industry, which supplies the world with everything from steel to essential chemicals. We’re looking forward to continued collaboration opportunities!
