Atura, a subsidiary of Canadian utility Ontario Power Generation, plans to bring the Niagara Hydrogen Centre online in early 2024. It is one of three green hydrogen facilities that Atura plans to build across Ontario and will be equipped with the province's first 20-megawatt electrolyser system, it said in October.

By purchasing green hydrogen from Atura, HOPA says it will be able to decarbonise its own and its customers' operations by providing the sustainable fuel across the port network, it now says in a statement.
