Evolugen, the Canadian operating business of Brookfield Renewable, and Gazifère Inc., an Enbridge company, have planned to build and operate an approximately 20 MW water electrolysis hydrogen production plant in the Outaouais region, Quebec. 

The plant will be built in the Masson sector of the City of Gatineau, adjacent to Evolugen’s hydroelectric facilities, which will power the electrolyzer. An estimated capacity of approximately 425,000 gigajoules of green hydrogen will be produced for injection into Gazifère’s natural gas distribution network, making this the first project of its kind in Canada.

The project will avoid approximately 15,000 metric tons in GHG emissions per year, in addition to generating significant local economic benefits, including new jobs and additional property tax revenue.
