In [2021], the Belledune Port Authority launched a plan to re-develop the Port of Belledune into a green heavy-industrial production center, leading the re-industrialization of northern New Brunswick while contributing to the energy-transition and fighting the climate crisis.
The plan is for the Port to leverage its thousands of acres of industrial-zoned land, significant existing and available logistics infrastructure, and unique industrial-scale green energy sources (including significant wind resources, a clean and resilient provincial power grid, and an ability to support new nuclear power generation) to attract new international heavy-industry companies to build facilities at the Port that will produce and export green goods.

-
A cornerstone catalyst and pre-requisite for new facilities to be built is the creation of a Green Energy Hub (GEH). The GEH is a collection of green power generation, fuel production, and energy storage plants and facilities that can deliver the industrial-scale quantities of green energy needed.
CRIP has been developing two anchor projects for the GEH: a green hydrogen/ammonia project, and a nuclear SMR power project. CRIP also recently entered into a development partnership with the Belledune Port Authority (BPA) to explore further green energy solutions, to support the development of the port’s infrastructure, as well as the continuing execution of its re-development strategy.
-
BPA partnered with CRIP:
to turn Belledune into one of the most green energy-dense areas in the world, with enormous levels of always-on, baseload green emissions-free power, high-pressure steam, and green hydrogen.
Which makes it ideal:
for heavy industry such as steel, copper, aluminum, base and specialty chemicals, and process heat-intensive advanced manufacturing to locate major new production facilities.
Using the existing infrastructure to grow and expand from:
the redevelopment of Belledune could lead to thousands of new jobs, and create a significant increase in the GDP of New Brunswick, and of Canada itself, while serving as a model to be replicated elsewhere in the country or exported globally.
