This is a huge deal even just for local air quality - it should go a long way in reducing smog days in the lower city. Hamilton is one of the few places in the country that still has regular issues with that.
Also of note - this project will reduce the City of Hamilton's emissions by about 30%. Apparently the entire city emits about 11 million tons of emissions annually, this alone will reduce that by about 3 million.
The $1.7 billion investment is also a ridiculously large project for a private company. That is an absolutely insane investment and will lead to a boon of construction jobs in the city while it happens.
