The Edmonton Region is one of the world’s top hydrogen producers. In fact, if the Edmonton Region was a country, it would be the second largest producer of clean hydrogen globally.
The Region’s unique combination of abundant natural gas reserves, world-class carbon capture and storage (CCS) infrastructure, and thriving hydrogen ecosystem, make this the ideal location to invest in hydrogen projects.
The Edmonton Region Hydrogen Hub is Canada’s first and largest hydrogen hub, positioning the Region at the center of Canada’s quickly growing hydrogen economy and driving demand for hydrogen across a variety of sectors. If you’re looking for opportunities to help drive a net-zero future, the Edmonton Metro Region is the place to invest.
Discover how the Edmonton Metro Region is shaping the hydrogen economy.
A well-established production, distribution, and utilization infrastructure including bold initiatives like the 5,000 Hydrogen Vehicle Challenge demonstrate a commitment to real-world implementation and market development.
Over 580 square kilometres of industrial land available for development with flexible zoning and development regulations to support diverse hydrogen projects.
The Region’s strategic location offers easy access to key markets. This combined with lower feedstock costs, competitive energy prices, and efficient infrastructure contribute to significant operating cost advantages.
