TES presents a crucial initiative for Québec's decarbonization through green H2

TES Canada H2, a Canadian developer of innovative projects aimed at accelerating the energy transition, is proud to present the Projet Mauricie. Totaling $4 B in investments for the region, the Projet Mauricie consists of the construction of an electrolyzer and renewable energy production assets. Upon its commissioning in 2028, the project will produce 70,000 t of green H2 exclusively dedicated to Québec end users.

With the aim of reducing CO2 emissions by 800,000 tpy, it is amongst the largest decarbonization projects announced in Québec to date. Green H2 provides a carbon-neutral solution to hard-to-electrify sectors. Approximately one-third of the green H2 produced will be dedicated to decarbonizing long-haul transportation, which accounts for nearly 10% of Québec's annual emissions. The remaining volumes will be used to produce eNG (electric renewable natural gas), a sustainable drop-in solution for hard-to-abate industries. TES Canada’s project alone will contribute to achieving 3% of Québec's GHG reduction targets by 2030.

The majority of the project’s energy needs will be met by its own 1-GW wind and solar farm. Considering Québec's energy context, the project’s behind-the-meter assets will minimize the energy drawn from Hydro-Québec’s grid, while also offering optimization opportunities, including load shedding during peak winter periods.
