Projet Mauricie is a Quebec-based proposed renewable energy initiative that would be one of the largest clean hydrogen projects in Canada
AtkinsRéalis has been awarded a contract by TESCanada H2 Inc. to provide front-end engineering and design services for their Projet Mauricie green hydrogen hub in Quebec.
“Energy secure and affordable Net Zero grids will be needed as we electrify a larger portion of our economies,” commented Ian L. Edwards, president and chief executive officer, AtkinsRéalis.
“Green hydrogen provides an attractive clean energy option for hard to decarbonise sectors. We’re pleased to deliver our clean energy engineering expertise to advance the green hydrogen ecosystem and ensure a successful energy transition.”
Projet Mauricie will reduce emissions by 800,000 CO2eq per year
Projet Mauricie will produce up to 70,000 tonnes per year of green hydrogen, which will be used to decarbonise industrial processes and heavy transportation in Quebec.
As part of the project, clean electricity will largely be supplied by new, purpose-built renewable power generation, including wind and solar farms totalling 1,000 MW.
The project will reduce emissions by 800,000 tonnes CO2eq per year, supporting Quebec’s decarbonisation objectives.
Implementing hydrogen market expertise
AtkinsRéalis will work with specialists from BBA to develop project plans, an execution schedule, cost estimates, environmental impact assessments, and assist TESCanada with the permitting required for the project.
AtkinsRéalis will also provide support with the technical challenges of the project, including engineering and field activities that involve geotechnical investigations and testing, as well as assist TESCanada with stakeholder and community engagement.
Projet Mauricie is expected to be commissioned in 2028.
