Episode description

Bear Head Energy has just received environmental approval for 2 gigawatts of electrolyzer capacity that will be developed in phases and require 400 onshore and offshore wind turbines to produce green ammonia and hydrogen for export. The Bear Head project is one of two hydrogen projects under development in the Strait of Canso.

This week, Don and David have a wide-ranging conversation with Paul MacLean, Bear Head's managing director. They cover the expected timetable for the project, how it will be financed, and the important role Bear Head Energy's owner, BAES Infrastructure, will play developing the markets for the company's green hydrogen and ammonia.

They also discuss the challenges with two green hydrogen projects in development at the same time, in the same geographical location, and how that affects the manpower and other resources needed to complete both projects.

There's a lot of hype in Nova Scotia around the relatively new and untested "green hydrogen" market. Anyone interested in that market, and what it might or might not mean for the province's economic future, will find a ton of insight in Don, David, and Paul's conversation.
