The challenge

High cost of vehicles, lack of existing infrastructure, and access to supply are all things that need to be addressed in order for transportation industry to make the transition to hydrogen as a fuel source.

The approach

We need to take a coordinated and aggressive approach to accelerate the transition to hydrogen and de-risk investments into this new opportunity.

The solution

Let’s work together to accelerate the transition and de-risk the path forward - across the entire value chain.

Now is the time to establish the Edmonton Metropolitan Region and Alberta as a world leader in clean hydrogen. The time to double down on hydrogen in Alberta is now.
