In Canada, Simon Fraser University’s Clean Hydrogen Hub has signed an agreement with three other leading Canadian hydrogen hubs conducting similar research and activities in developing hydrogen energy technologies.
The collaboration between SFU, Vallée de la Transition Énergétique (VTE, Québec), Newfoundland and Labrador Hydrogen Innovation Partnership (HyIP, Newfoundland), and the Edmonton Regional Hydrogen Hub (Alberta) will form the Pan-Canadian Alliance of Hydrogen Hubs.
By linking hydrogen hubs from across Canada, the partnership aims to break down geographic barriers and leverage regional strengths, including the potential for interprovincial trade, SFU said.
The four partners have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU), outlining their joint mission to accelerate the development of hydrogen technologies.Through collaboration, the hubs will grow a national hydrogen ecosystem to drive investment, scale breakthrough solutions, support workforce development, and ensure energy security and sustainability for generations to come.
The MoU outlines areas of mutual interest and cooperation, which include: supporting the advancement of hydrogen-related projects in each region; promoting the use, application, and commercialization of Canadian-developed hydrogen technologies; facilitating education, training, and community engagement at all levels; and ensuring knowledge transfer and sharing best practices across economic, financial, and technical domains.
