Canadian power company Bruce Power has announced plans to explore opportunities for using excess energy generated by reactors at the Bruce nuclear power station to produce green hydrogen.
As a first step, the company has signed a memorandum of understanding with companies in Bruce, Grey and Huron counties to collaborate on a feasibility study to determine opportunities for hydrogen production using this excess energy and to recommend how the nuclear station could become a centre of excellence for hydrogen production and key hydrogen hub for the province of Ontario. The project is expected to be completed in early 2023.
Bruce Power said the companies that have signed the MOU are Bruce Power Net Zero Inc, Greenfield Global, Hydrogen Optimized and Hensall Coop.
