NewGen
Who We Are
NewGen Energy Limited (NewGen), is the launch project of Kenesjay Green Limited and is firmly aligned to Trinidad and Tobago’s agenda to expand its current and new production capability and to reinforce its position as an industry pioneer in innovations for energy transition. NewGen has embarked on the development of a proposed carbon-neutral/green hydrogen production facility – a first for the country. The hydrogen output from the project is intended as a “green” input to ammonia production at the Trinidad Nitrogen Company (Tringen) facilities at the Point Lisas Industrial Estate. The project will focus on production of hydrogen from an industrial electrolysis process powered by carbon-neutral electricity and “green” electricity from renewable sources. By harnessing renewable natural resources and excess heat from T&T’s power plants, NewGen will be delivering a creative solution, and contributing to the energy transition of T&T’s hydrocarbon-based industrial complex.
Our Belief

NewGen firmly believes that T&T stands at the forefront of regaining its international prominence as a global energy pioneer in this new era of decarbonising the energy industry, including the advent of a Hydrogen Economy in the Energy Sector of Trinidad and Tobago.
