A simulation what the wind farm proposed by World Energy GH2 would look like in an area on the Port au Port Peninsula. – World Energy GH2 - Contributedthe guest column, published on Sept. 8, on the subject of wind energy proposals in N.L.Mr. Pardy has correctly picked one of the more recent attempts at fleecing N.L., the Sprung Greenhouse fiasco, to highlight. It managed to fail brilliantly.
What Stephenville does have is a deep water, ice-free port, also built by the Americans, to support the base and a highly productive known wind corridor nearby. This port can accommodate the ships which will carry the product from the plant where it will be shipped as ammonia. It has room to establish the huge laydown area required for materials to build the wind turbines, which must be imported.
Ammonia, as fuel, is what Germany is interested in. This can be converted to hydrogen after delivery and used in those applications that require it. The raw material used to produce this fuel is water and wind. This project will use an existing water supply, built for a paper mill which closed, and was demolished.
Ammonia from Stephenville can be called 'green ammonia,' because it will be produced by an electrolysis process supplied with massive amounts of electricity from wind, a huge untapped resource in N.L., after a misdirected 10-year moratorium on land-based wind farms was recently removed. Just the first of these wind farms on the Port au Port Penninsula alone has a production capacity greater than that of Muskrat Falls.
