Offshore and Onshore Wind

Three major green hydrogen and ammonia projects have already been announced in the province. These projects position Nova Scotia to be a leader in the development of hydrogen derivatives to markets that are actively seeking clean alternatives to fossil fuels and chemicals.

Why Nova Scotia?

Why Nova Scotia? The answer starts offshore. Nova Scotia is home to some of the most consistent and powerful offshore and onshore wind resources in the world — with speeds that rival those of the North Sea, the current gold standard for offshore wind energy. What makes this even more exciting? This resource can be developed without using valuable land, preserving Nova Scotia’s natural beauty while fueling sustainable innovation.

Logistics, Workforce, Research and Incentives

What gives Nova Scotia the edge?

It's not just natural resources — it's infrastructure, innovation, and collaboration. The province offers:

Deep-water ports and shipping routes for efficient global export.
A skilled workforce with expertise in energy, engineering, and ocean tech.
Strong research and development capacity, including internationally recognized institutions.
Supportive government policies and incentives aligned with global climate goals.

This combination makes Nova Scotia more than just a resource-rich region — it makes it a launchpad for the future of clean energy.
