The Calgary Region Hydrogen Hub has opened its head office. The downtown hub will focus on driving hydrogen fuel adoption in local businesses and industries.

It took decades for Alberta’s oil and gas industry to become the giant force that it is in the province’s economy, but with worldwide change towards renewable […] energy, decades for the next advancement will be too slow.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith speaking at the grand opening of the Calgary Region Hydrogen Hub on Monday says the new hub, along with the Edmonton Region Hydrogen Hub, will aid in boosting networks and developing new technology.

The Calgary Region Hydrogen Hub (CRH2) officially opened, cementing Calgary’s place as a powerhouse in Canada’s clean hydrogen economy.

The federal government has committed over $8.3 million to support 13 clean tech projects in Alberta, with key investments in the Energy Transition Centre and Calgary Region Hydrogen Hub, Minister Anita Anand announced Thursday. The Energy Transition Centre will receive $2 million to expand its downtown Calgary operations and support clean energy startups, building on previous federal funding. The new Hydrogen Hub will get $1.5 million to strengthen Calgary’s hydrogen capabilities and connect with hubs in Edmonton and Vancouver. Minister Anand called the funding “future-proofing Alberta’s economy” through innovation in energy and natural resources.

“Wheatland County is helping chart a path of energy diversification by leveraging its strategic location and resources to support hydrogen technology innovations within Alberta,” said Amber Link, reeve of Wheatland County.
