EverWind Fuels has been awarded $22.5 million through Transport Canada’s Green Shipping Corridor Fund, marking a significant milestone in establishing Atlantic Canada as a hub for green hydrogen and ammonia production and transportation.

The $22.5-million investment will accelerate the development of the EverWind’s Point Tupper green hydrogen and green ammonia project and position the Strait of Canso region as a hub for sustainable energy development while driving economic growth throughout Nova Scotia and as a transport hub for its sister project on the Burin Peninsula in Newfoundland. The infrastructure supported by this funding will also help catalyze emissions reductions in the marine transportation sector and serve as a gateway for the movement of green fuels from Atlantic Canada to markets at home and abroad.

EverWind’s success is built on strong partnerships with its First Nations equity partners—Membertou, Paqtnkek, and Potlotek. This collaboration ensures that Mi’kmaw principles of Netukulimk and environmental stewardship are embedded in every aspect of the project’s development.

With more than 20 years of operational history, EverWind’s Point Tupper Terminal is one of North America’s largest transshipment facilities. As one of only four Transport Canada certified oil spill response organizations in Canada, the terminal exemplifies industry leading standards in safety, security, and environmental stewardship.

EverWinds’ existing expertise and infrastructure, combined with this new investment, positions Port Hawkesbury to become a regional leader in sustainable maritime practices. EverWind is committed to building on Cape Breton and Nova Scotia’s industrial heritage while pivoting responsibly toward the green energy future.
