De-risking of investments
Establish funding programs, long-term policies, and business models to encourage industry and governments to invest in growing the hydrogen economy.
Innovation
Take action to support further R&D, develop research priorities, and foster collaboration between stakeholders to ensure Canada maintains its competitive edge and global leadership in hydrogen and fuel cell technologies.
Codes and standards
Modernize existing codes and standards to keep pace with this rapidly changing industry and remove barriers to deployment, domestically and internationally.
Enabling policies and regulations
Ensure hydrogen is integrated into clean energy road maps and strategies at all levels of government to incentivize its application.
Awareness
Lead at the national level to ensure individuals and communities are aware of hydrogen’s safety, uses, and benefits during a time of rapidly expanding technologies.
Regional blueprints
Implement a multi-level, collaborative government effort to facilitate the development of regional hydrogen blueprints to identify specific opportunities and plans for hydrogen production and end use.
International markets
Work with our international partners to ensure the global push for clean fuels includes hydrogen so Canadian industries thrive at home and abroad.
