Avec une usine à Baie-Comeau, ce promoteur ambitionne d’alimenter en explosifs toutes les minières de la province.
Hy2Gen, granted 307 megawatts for a Baie-Comeau plant, must sell its "green" ammonium nitrate to Quebec, initially prioritizing mining companies, with a goal of 100% provincial sales. The $2 billion plant aims to produce 500,000 tonnes annually, exceeding current Quebec mining needs, using hydrogen instead of natural gas, significantly reducing CO2 emissions. Hy2Gen assures competitive pricing and has secured electrical connection, not requiring public funding.
