A HUB Approach to the Challenges of Building a Hydrogen Value Chain

Thursday, May 19, 2022

Moderator: Mark Lea-Wilson, Edmonton Region Hydrogen HUB
Presenter: Kirk Hamilton, C-FER Technologies

Mark Lea-Wilson, Edmonton Region Hydrogen HUB Leader, The Transition Accelerator, and Kirk Hamilton, Senior Engineering Advisor, C-FER Technologies, discuss technical and non-technical challenges associated with building a new hydrogen value chain. Mark reflects on the challenges identified by HUB stakeholders, most of which are non-technical in nature. Next, Kirk discusses the technical gaps C-FER has identified. Finally, they will bring it all together with thoughts on how the challenges can be addressed, leveraging the newly formed Alberta Clean Hydrogen Centre of Excellence. A Q&A session follows.

Case Study: Hydrogen Fuel Cells in Port Trucking Operations

Case Study: Hydrogen Fuel Cells in Port Trucking Operations

The Port of Los Angeles, in conjunction with Kenworth Truck Company, Toyota, Shell, and others , recently demonstrated a collaborative zero-emission goods movement project focused on the use of hydrogen fuel cells in heavy-duty trucks for port service. The project exhibited supply chain transport from “Shore to Store” utilizing zero-emission advanced technology. The Shore to Store project is funded with a $41,122,260 grant from the California Air Resources Board and an additional $41,426,612 in matching contributions from project partners. The presentation will discuss the project results and showcase the potential of hydrogen as a zero-emissions fuel platform for heavy-duty goods movement.
Transitioning transportation to net-zero emissions

Transitioning transportation to net-zero emissions

This presentation will begin with a high level assessment of the net-zero solutions for Canada’s transportation sector, with a focus on the role that hydrogen could play. A case study will be presented for the transition to net-zero of Alberta’s heavy duty road freight sector.

A Year Later: Advancing the Hydrogen Workforce for Edmonton Region’s Hydrogen Hub

It’s been almost a year since the Transition Accelerator released Pat Hufnagel-Smith’s report, Assessing the Workforce Required to Advance Canada’s Hydrogen Economy. This webinar take a closer look at the work done since then to ensure that the workforce to enable the region’s future hydrogen economy will be available as it’s needed.
