But the massive wind project planned in Stephenville is just that, or more accurately, an ammonia farm. The project includes 164 wind turbines that will dot the landscape of Newfoundland’s Port au Port Peninsula, but generating electricity from the wind is not the goal of the project. The goal is to produce hydrogen, and from there, ammonia. And not just any hydrogen, but “green hydrogen,” which is hydrogen produced from a renewable source. But why bother turning wind energy into hydrogen? And where does ammonia come into the picture? We put these questions to Kevin Pope, an associate professor at Memorial University who specializes in renewable energy and hydrogen production. In the video above, Pope shows us how the process works with a simple experiment and takes us inside the school on an issue that could be important in Newfoundland and Labrador.
