The Energy Ahead of Us

At Eastward Energy, we’ve set our sights on the energy ahead of us. Solutions that will support Nova Scotia’s transition to net-zero emissions and lead to a future that’s cleaner, more sustainable, and more efficient.

Green Hydrogen

Powerful energy for industries. Low carbon for the planet.

Hydrogen is an energy carrier that doesn’t emit any greenhouse gases when it is used, similar to electricity. Green hydrogen is produced from renewable electricity through a process called electrolysis. A clean energy solution for decarbonizing sectors that are difficult to electrify, such as heavy transportation, energy intensive industries and some buildings.

Eastward Energy is working on a proposed green hydrogen project in Halifax that would produce enough hydrogen to power 60 buses or heat about 1000 homes.

Hydrogen Blending

Using our natural gas grid to deliver cleaner energy.

Hydrogen can be blended into our existing gas distribution system, creating a lower carbon energy source. Most gas appliances in use today, including boilers and furnaces, can run efficiently and safely on a mixture of up to 20% hydrogen blended with natural gas to reduce GHG emissions.

Our modern, hydrogen-compatible gas distribution system is a cost effective and efficient way to help meet Nova Scotia’s net-zero goals.

Renewable Natural Gas

Waste that isn’t wasted.

Imagine a cleaner, sustainable energy source that benefits both the environment and the economy. That’s what we create when we produce renewable natural gas from organic waste such as compost, wastewater, landfill waste and wood waste.

Renewable natural gas projects in Nova Scotia will contribute to a stable, circular economy by turning the waste we generate into the green energy we’ll need.

Natural Gas Heat Pumps

New energy that takes efficiency to a new level.

We’re committed to developing new technologies that use energy more efficiently, lower GHG emissions and reduce heating costs. Natural gas heat pumps transfer heat from the air outside to inside a building for space heating or hot water like electric heat pumps.

Eastward Energy is testing natural gas heat pumps for multi-unit residential buildings and homes in Nova Scotia.
