Canada allocates $9.14 million for low-carbon hydrogen

The Canadian government is investing $9.14 million in key low-carbon hydrogen projects, aimed at strengthening the country's innovation and energy infrastructure.

Canada confirms its commitment to low-carbon hydrogen by allocating $9.14 million to six innovative projects.
These funds, from the Energy Innovation Program, aim to boost the hydrogen value chain and strengthen production, storage and distribution capacities across the country.
The University of British Columbia is receiving $1.25 million to develop a pilot plant using pyrolysis technology.
This project is designed to reduce costs while limiting the emissions associated with hydrogen production.
At the same time, Enbridge Gas Inc.
in Ontario has been awarded $900,000 for the Markham Virtual Hydrogen Hybrid project, aimed at integrating renewable hydrogen into the Ontario power grid.

Hydrogen infrastructure development

Hydrogen storage and transportation represent major challenges for large-scale integration.
Hydrogen in Motion, British Columbia, has been awarded $590,223 for an innovative project to store hydrogen at low pressure in solid form.
This development could transform distribution methods, optimizing the safety and efficiency of existing infrastructures.
In Alberta, Ayrton Energy is receiving $1.09 million to assess the feasibility of transporting hydrogen at ambient temperature and pressure through conventional infrastructures such as pipelines.
This project could enable hydrogen to be integrated more economically into existing distribution networks.

Strengthening hydrogen production and injection

The government is also funding crucial studies to evaluate hydrogen injection into natural gas networks.
Enbridge Gas Inc. in Ontario is receiving $5 million to analyze the feasibility of hydrogen gas injection on a provincial scale.
Gazoduc Trans Québec et Maritimes is receiving $1.4 million for a technical study on hydrogen injection in certain sections of its transmission network.
These studies will provide a better understanding of the technical and economic implications of integrating hydrogen into gas infrastructures, an essential element in maximizing the use of this energy resource within the framework of carbon neutrality objectives.

A national strategy and international alliances

Since 2020, low-carbon hydrogen has played an increasingly important role in provincial and federal energy strategies.
With over 80 projects announced, Canada is positioning itself as a leader in this field.
The Canadian Hydrogen Strategy is guiding these initiatives, aiming to make the country a key player in sustainable energy. The Canada-Germany Hydrogen Alliance, backed by a $600 million investment, illustrates this ambition.
It aims to boost exports of hydrogen produced in the Atlantic provinces, helping to reduce carbon emissions in Germany while stimulating the Canadian economy.
These investments and collaborations are part of a broader effort to ensure that Canada remains at the forefront of global energy innovation, maximizing economic opportunities and supporting the transition to a low-emission economy.
