Newfoundland and Labrador has all the ingredients, with its impressive wind resources coupled with the massive storage capacity of the Fischell Salt Dome, to support a clean energy hub’s economic viability and vitality.

Fischell has the potential to be a vital link between all new green energy projects in the area, providing a massive long-term storage solution to facilitate the economic viability of the region and the establishment of a new global clean energy hub in Canada.

• A recent Phase 1 Assessment of the dome has validated that Fischell Salt Dome can store more than 35 million cubic meters, or the equivalent of 180,000 tonnes of hydrogen – making Fischell the largest salt storage facility on North America’s east coast.

• Approximately 5.2 km x 4.5 km, with a depth of more than 2.1 km, Fischell Salt Dome is potentially one of the world’s largest renewable energy reservoirs.
• Multiple large salt caverns can be constructed in the dome and used to store a variety of energy sources, such as hydrogen and compressed air – significantly improving the economics of major hydrogen developments.
• Located beside the Trans-Canada Highway, tidewater, international shipping lanes, and beside the main powerline.

   

• Offering safe, reliable and cost-effective energy storage.
