Canadian green hydrogen partnership World Energy GH2 joins LeadIT
First Canadian member to join the organization
Per Andersson, Head of LeadIT Secretariat (Sweden):
“Industry transition does need global solutions and worldwide partnerships. Therefore, we warmly welcome World Energy GH2 as a member of Leadership Group for Industry Transition (LeadIT). It will be an interesting journey as they have set themselves the task to produce green hydrogen with wind power and the ambition of transatlantic transport of green ammonia from North America to continental Europe. It demonstrates the sort of ambition that is needed to accelerate heavy industry decarbonization. A recent LeadIT study showed that the increased demand for green hydrogen, driven by green steel production, will be substantial and all sources needed.”
Sean Leet, Managing Director and CEO, World Energy GH2 (St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada):
"LeadIT has shown remarkable leadership with the development of various industry trackers, including the Transition Tracker and the Green Steel Tracker. These data and insights are invaluable at this stage of the global energy transition, and are important markers of where we are – as countries and companies – and where we need to be. LeadIT’s model of country and corporate members working together is also progressive and encouraging. In order to advance the energy transition, public and private co-operation is necessary. Renewable energy policies, infrastructure, supply chain models, and pricing models need to be advanced on a global, country-to-country scale."

World Energy GH2 plans to construct one of the world’s first commercial green hydrogen and ammonia production plants. Its membership of LeadIT was announced during a LeadIT event at COP29 in Baku.
