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

What We Are About

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.

  • To provide hydrogen as an alternative for natural gas as a feed-stock and fuel for our downstream energy sector, sourced from Power Generation excess heat aka “Grey Hydrogen”.
  • To provide hydrogen as an alternative for natural gas as a feed-stock and fuel for our downstream energy sector, sourced from Renewable Energy aka “Green Hydrogen”
  • To enable a lower carbon footprint of the Trinidad & Tobago economy.
The NewGen logo represents opportunity for transitioning the energy landscape of Trinidad and Tobago. Made up of green, grey and blue, the soft acknowledgement of a hydrogen molecule shows the various types of hydrogen that NewGen will be offering with a focus on grey and green energy generation.
With environmental and energy synergies, NewGen will represent the harmonious balance of nature working with nature.

NewGen Energy Limited is:

  • Clean energy
  • Crisp energy
  • New energy
NewGen energy is new energy for our new generation.

Our Directors

NewGen was born from the wisdom of the pioneering generation of T&T’s visionaries of the energy sector, combined with the passion and knowledge of the new generation of energy leaders.
