Name of the Project
Project Lynx.

Location
The proposed development is being proposed in and around the Stephenville, St George’s and Channel- Port Aux Basques areas, in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

Project Owner/s
Fortescue Future Industries (FFI).

Project Description
Project Lynx proposes the potential production of renewable energy in and around the Stephenville, St George’s and Channel- Port Aux Basques areas, which will include a hydrogen electrolysis and green ammonia production plant, a liquid ammonia marine export terminal and wind power generation facilities.

The production plant will recover nitrogen from the air and combine it with hydrogen to produce about 700 000 t/y to 900 000 t/y of green ammonia – a common industrial and agricultural chemical that can replace traditional fuels such as oil and gas. Options for hydrogen storage will be developed using established gas storage techniques, providing significant flexibility for the green ammonia production facility and helping to ease the intermittency of wind power generation.

The proposed development also includes the construction of two 600 MW green ammonia production trains at the same production site, and wind power facilities to achieve an overall 2 000 MW nominal capacity. A portion of the power could potentially be provided from the grid to the production facility.

Potential Job Creation
The development could create up to 2 000 local jobs a year through the construction and operation of the plant and growth in supporting businesses.
