In a world hungry for sustainable energy, Alberta is fast becoming one of the pre-eminent jurisdictions on the planet for hydrogen fuel and expertise.
The province is already Canada's largest producer of hydrogen, having spent decades producing it from abundant reserves of natural gas for bitumen upgrading and fertilizer. One of the cleanest sources of energy, hydrogen is a zero-emissions fuel that produces only water when burned or used in a fuel cell.
With research at the University of Alberta at the forefront of hydrogen innovation, Alberta is also a global source of expertise. To further advance hydrogen technology, the university is now launching a new Centre for Hydrogen Innovation, Workforce Development and Outreach (CHIWDO).
