Canada is the fourth largest producer of natural gas in the world, with Alberta leading in Canada, so it makes sense to have a "made in Alberta" natural gas strategy. The hydrogen economy, Take 1In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Canada was a global leader in the hydrogen economy, with a scheme to replace gas-guzzling, fossil-fuelled engines with clean-burning, hydrogen fuel cells. To run hydrogen fuel cell vehicles across the country, you need many hydrogen recharging stations. Also, the opportunity is huge; recent analysis shows that 27 per cent of Canada's primary energy demand can be met by blue hydrogen by 2050, making blue hydrogen a big part of reaching our climate goals. The blue hydrogen economy is likely to be a big emissions win and a big economic win, and it has little to do with the hydrogen economy of the 1990s and 2000s.
