The Hydrogen Center of Excellence awards $14.7 million in hydrogen funding

In Canada, the Alberta Hydrogen Center of Excellence (HCOE) is awarding $14.7 million to 18 successful projects to advance innovations in hydrogen through its first funding competition. One of the successful projects is the proposed Bremner 100% Hydrogen Community in Strathcona County, Alberta. Together, ATCO and Qualico are studying the logistics, technology requirements and other considerations involved in safely and affordably developing 100% pure hydrogen communities – an important step towards eliminating carbon emissions that are produced when we heat our homes and use hot water. Other successful projects in the competition will examine the safe and effective use of pipelines for hydrogen transmission. Another project will look at how to convert heavy-duty long-haul trucks to dual-fuel machines. In all, projects will examine everything from production, transmission, distribution, and storage, to end-uses of hydrogen. A total of 68 project proposals were received, with 18 being chosen to move forward.
