I am literally only bumping this thread to brag that I got an A+ on my paper discussing the opportunities, barriers, and commercialization of Hydrogen in my Business of Clean Tech MBA class.
...anybody want to talk about Hydrogen? How about Alberta's Hydrogen Roadmap (
https://www.alberta.ca/hydrogen-roadmap.aspx) or Canada's Hydrogen strategy? (

Hydrogen has a lot of potential in the energy transition. Could be used as storage for intermittent renewables, an energy carrier that can be exported, heating/feedstock for industrial processes, transportation (potentially hard to decarbonize sectors like heavy duty, long haul, shipping, aviation, etc as I'd say EVs seem to have beat H2 fuel cells to market for passenger vehicles), there's a pilot project injecting it into natural gas, lots of cool potential.
Canada is actually positioned quite well for Hydrogen, whether that's "blue" hydrogen from natural gas paired w/ CCUS in AB/SK where we have the resources, the know-how, and the geology, or "green" hydrogen where we have abundant renewables (hydro in BC, MB, QC, maritimes, and potentially AB if as we bring on solar/wind capacity). Alberta is one of the larger producers of Hydrogen right now, although none of it is clean at the moment, nor is it used for energy.
