Alberta to provide more funding for hydrogen innovation
In Wisconsin, Progressive Railroading reported that the provincial government of Alberta, Canada, announced it will provide $32 million in funding to power new hydrogen technologies designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create jobs.
The report noted that Alberta has created a hydrogen roadmap, an emissions reduction and energy development plan, and a natural gas strategy to recognize the importance of growing the provincial hydrogen economy while cutting emissions and accessing global markets, Alberta government officials said.
As part of this work and through Alberta Innovates’ Hydrogen Center of Excellence and Emissions Reduction Alberta, the provincial government will launch two hydrogen funding competitions using the Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) fund.
The new funding is expected to drive new hydrogen technologies to be used in production, transmission and distribution, storage, and in industries like heavy-duty transportation, industrial heat and chemicals, the report added.
