VORTEX ENERGY CONGRATULATES WORLD ENERGY GH2 FOR RECEIVING INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT

Vortex Energy Corp. congratulates World Energy GH2 for receiving an initial $50-million (U.S.) investment in its $4.2-billion wind/green-hydrogen project from SK Ecoplant for a 20-per-cent stake in the GH2 project, which includes 164 wind turbines that will power hydrogen and ammonia plants in Stephenville, Nfld. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol met this week and signed a memorandum of understanding on critical minerals, clean-energy transition and energy security.

Vortex Energy's Robinson River salt project is in close proximity to the GH2 project, which the company sees as a great opportunity for potential collaboration. Vortex Energy holds innovative technology which may have the potential to be implemented in the supply chain of ammonia transportation and hydrogen fuel at the point of use.

The investment comes on the back of the Hydrogen Alliance announcement between Canada and Germany, which aims to export hydrogen to Germany by 2025. The announcement was made in Stephenville, where Mr. Trudeau and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced a transatlantic supply corridor for clean energy through the transportation of ammonia/hydrogen.

"This investment in the province serves as major validation that Vortex is in the right place at the right time," said Paul Sparkes, chief executive officer of Vortex. "Newfoundland and Labrador is quickly becoming a global hub for green-hydrogen and green-energy production, storage and transportation through these major investments. Vortex's ammonia-to-high-purity-hydrogen technology serves as a key piece in hydrogen transportation by using ammonia as a safe and cost-effective carrier. Additionally, Vortex's potential salt caverns can provide hydrogen storage, as needed. The Vortex team welcomes additional investment and partners to the province as it becomes the go-to global hub for green-energy production."
