In Ireland, Simply Blue Group, a developer of clean energy projects, has collaborated with the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaw Chiefs to establish a path forward focused on sustainable development. The collaboration aims to integrate Mi’kmaw knowledge and values into Simply Blue Group’s Sustainable Aviation Fuel Project in Goldboro, Nova Scotia. Hugh Kelly, Co-Founder & CEO of Simply Blue Group, stated: “Our partnership with the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaw Chiefs is built on a foundation of respect for local stewardship and collaboration. As we move forward in developing the Goldboro site into a sustainable aviation fuels hub, we are committed to ensuring that community voices and values are integral to every stage of the project.” The SAF project in Goldboro will utilize renewable electricity generated from Simply Blue Group’s solar and wind farms in the Municipality of the District of St. Mary’s. A dedicated transmission line will connect these facilities, ensuring a seamless flow of renewable power. This renewable energy, along with Nova Scotia’s sustainable biomass and water resources, will be utilized to produce approximately 150,000 tons of sustainable aviation fuel per year.
