In Canada, Alberta’s government said it is providing $33.7 million to power new hydrogen technologies that will reduce emissions and create jobs in the province.
Alberta has created a Hydrogen Roadmap, an Emissions Reduction and Energy Development Plan, and a Natural Gas Strategy to recognize the importance of growing the provincial hydrogen economy while cutting emissions and accessing global markets.
As part of this work, Alberta’s government said it will launch two hydrogen funding competitions using the Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) fund.
“Alberta is known for its entrepreneurial spirit and, as we are already a leader in this field, this competition will explore and advance clean hydrogen technologies while generating fresh, exciting new projects and ideas,” said Rebecca Schulz, Minister of Environment and Protected Areas.
The two parallel competitions are open to a wide range of applicants, including technology developers, industry and industry associations, small and medium-sized enterprises, research and development organizations, post-secondary institutions, municipalities, not-for-profit organizations, Indigenous organizations and municipalities, the local government said.
