Assessing the Workforce Required to Advance Canada’s Hydrogen Economy
Canada is one of the world’s largest and lowest-cost producers of hydrogen. While there is an existing hydrogen workforce that knows how to produce, handle and use hydrogen safely at industrial scale, developing a low-carbon hydrogen economy will drive additional employment opportunities for a highly skilled, well-paid, technical and professional workforce. It will also contribute […]
The Techno-Economics of Hydrogen Pipelines
The purpose of this ‘technical brief’ is to describe how to carry out techno-economic analyses for pure hydrogen pipelines, including their sizing, operating and cost estimating. The primary focus of this work is on the design and costing of pipelines transporting large volumes of hydrogen across large distances. However, the principles discussed here can be […]
The Techno-Economics of Hydrogen Compression
This technical brief supports the analysis stage (#3) in the Transition Accelerator’s work to identify credible, compelling transition pathways to a vibrant hydrogen economy in Canada. It is intended to provide a tool that students, engineers, policy makers and entrepreneurs could use to assess the technical and economic feasibility of projects to produce, use and […]
Towards Net-Zero Energy Systems In Canada: A Key Role For Hydrogen
This white paper was prepared by The Transition Accelerator to provide techno-economic and environmental details, as well as a pan-Canadian perspective for the work of Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Hydrogen Task Force in assessing the ability of the Alberta Industrial Heartland region to contribute to the transition to a carbon-neutral energy future. This study was provided […]
Survey of heavy-duty hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles and their fit for service in Canada
Countries around the world are looking to hydrogen as a compelling option to decarbonize the trucking sector and support the build-up of a hydrogen economy that has substantial environmental, economic development, and energy diversification benefits. This report explores the fit of hydrogen fuel cell electric technology to meet the needs of the heavy-duty vehicle sector. […]
