Developing the Future of Salt Mining and Energy Storage in Atlantic Canada

Company Focus

Vortex Energy is advancing the Robinsons River Salt Project in Newfoundland and Labrador to evaluate its potential for underground hydrogen storage and compressed air energy storage (“CAES”) in solution-mined salt caverns.

Underground Carbon Capture

Newfoundland features geological formations that are ideal for carbon storage, as demonstrated by Vortex’s Robinsons River Project, making them it a crucial part of efforts to combat climate change.

CAES Cavern Storage

Vortex is evaluating whether prospective salt intervals at Robinsons River could support the future development of solution-mined caverns for long-duration energy storage, subject to further geological, geotechnical and engineering evaluation.

World Energy GH2 Partnership

Vortex and World Energy GH2 will partner together to explore Hydrogen and Green Energy solutions in Newfoundland & Labrador.

  • Both parties have recognized the immense potential of Newfoundland & Labrador as a hub for renewable energy development

  • World Energy and Vortex have agreed to leverage their collective expertise, resources, and technologies in the pursuit of sustainable energy storage solutions

  • Through collaborative research, development, and deployment initiatives, World Energy GH2 and Vortex Energy Corp will work together to study and explore scalable and efficient storage solutions

Vortex's Collaboration With the U of A Receives Alberta Innovates & NRCAN Funding

  • Hydrogen Storage Research

    • Researchers are testing recent drill core to characterize mineralogy, porosity, permeability and geomechanical behaviour relevant to underground hydrogen storage.
    • Supported by Alberta Innovates, NRCan, NSERC and Mitacs.

    Ambient Noise Tomography Survey

    • Researchers completed the field component of an ANT survey.
    • The program deployed 188 passive-seismic instruments across approximately 335 km², collecting data for three-dimensional subsurface velocity modelling.
    • The ANT dataset is being integrated with drilling, seismic and gravity information to refine the geological interpretation and guide future drill targeting.
