In Canada, the combustion of transportation fuels (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and fuel oil) accounts for about 28% of Canada’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To meet Canada’s net-zero commitments, these fuels — and potentially the vehicles they serve — will need to be replaced with zero-emission energy carriers and vehicles, with significant implications for oil-producing Alberta.
Following from Dr. David Layzell’s Hydrogen 101 webinar in March, this presentation begins with a high-level assessment of the net-zero solutions for Canada’s transportation sector, with a focus on the role that hydrogen could play. A case study follows for the transition to net-zero of Alberta’s heavy duty road freight sector.
Edmonton Region Hydrogen Hub is located and operates in Amiskwaciwâskahikan on Treaty 6 Territory and Métis homelands.
We acknowledge this land as the traditional gathering place and centre for trade for many Indigenous peoples, including First Nations, Métis, and Inuit. We recognize that inclusivity is at the heart of sustainable growth and understand that Indigenous partnerships and voices must be at the forefront of the radical transformation of our region
