Alberta’s Government is doing more to support hydrogen technologies that will reduce emissions, grow the economy and help the province keep powering the world.
Alberta is already Canada’s hydrogen leader, producing and using more hydrogen than anywhere else in the country.
To help drive innovation, the Alberta government is investing $57 million to develop 28 new hydrogen technologies that will reduce emissions and power the economy.
In a news release from the province, Rebecca Schulz, Minister of Environment and Protected Areas, says this funding will help find new, innovative technologies that will ultimately help hydrogen power Alberta’s industries, vehicles, homes and economy in the years ahead. We are reducing emissions through technologies, not taxes, and creating jobs at the same time.
The funding, delivered through Emissions Reduction Alberta and Alberta Innovates, will support projects led by industry, researchers and municipalities.
All projects will be Alberta-based and explore new, innovative technologies rather than what is currently commercially available.
This is part of Alberta’s ongoing work to implement the Emissions Reduction and Energy Development Plan, Hydrogen Roadmap and Natural Gas Strategy.
These strategies set the course for Alberta to be carbon neutral by 2050 and a major player on the global hydrogen stage.
