The Point Tupper Green Fuels Project, spearheaded by EverWind Fuels, has been projected to deliver substantial global climate benefits by slashing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, according to new analysis by Dunsky Energy + Climate Advisors.
The independent study revealed that the Nova Scotia-based project could cut 500,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually, translating to over 15 million tonnes of avoided emissions across its 30-year lifespan. This would be achieved by replacing conventional, fossil fuel-derived ammonia with green ammonia.
Set to begin construction in 2026, the facility aims to produce 240,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year using newly installed wind and solar power. The project will also integrate with Nova Scotia’s grid, supporting the province’s clean energy transition.
The Dunsky assessment emphasized that green ammonia production is 98% cleaner than traditional processes, making the project a key contributor to Canada’s 2030 emissions reduction targets under the federal Emissions Reduction Plan.
Philippe Dunsky, President & CEO of Dunsky Energy + Climate Advisors, noted:
“Canadian green ammonia has the potential to significantly cut global emissions when used to replace conventional ammonia. With clean power and energy storage, its grid impacts can remain minimal.”
EverWind’s CEO Trent Vichie added:
“Our Point Tupper project proves Nova Scotia can deliver climate solutions at global scale. Partnering with Mi’kmaq First Nations, we’re building a project that reduces emissions, supports local communities, and strengthens Canada’s climate leadership.”
The project will also deploy a fleet of low-emission tugboats, cutting nitrogen oxides (NOx) by 80% and CO₂ by 25% compared to traditional vessels, further underscoring its sustainability focus.
