Hydrogen is in the news everyday. Twenty countries now have a hydrogen strategy. Alberta’s and Canada’s strategies will be rolled out soon. We are behind many others but well-positioned to learn from their failures and successes.

Some initiatives and organizations are already established, but there are still gaps and opportunities. There is a need for a national voice in the hydrogen conversation that is accessible and pragmatic.

We also need some hope for the O&G industry that has been hit hard by the triple-whammy of the downturn, oversupply, and pandemic. Alberta has an abundance of expertise, office towers, O&G, personnel, and technology. We need to take full advantage of our potential starting today.
