Building a Fuel Hydrogen Value Chain for Heavy Transport in a Net Zero Future

Thursday, April 14, 2022

Moderator: David Layzell
Presenter: Adnan Khan

The transition to net-zero emission energy systems requires a major effort to displace carbon-based energy carriers like gasoline, diesel, and natural gas with zero-emission energy carriers such as low-carbon electricity and hydrogen. The use of hydrogen as a fuel will require the creation of a new value chain that connects supply to demand.

This webinar serves as a progress update on research from Edmonton Region Hydrogen HUB’s upcoming report “The Techo-economics of a Hydrogen Value Chain Supporting Heavy Transport.” During this event, The Transition Accelerator team will take you through an analysis of different value chains for making hydrogen available to heavy-duty vehicles and how to achieve an economy-of-scale and further the energy transition in Canada. A Q&A session follows.

Hydrogen and the Decarbonization of Steel Production in Canada

To convert iron ore into the iron required for steelmaking, the Canadian steel industry primarily relies on coal, coke, and natural gas in large blast furnaces. Currently responsible for approximately 2% of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions, the steel industry is committed to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050, but reaching those goals will require innovative new approaches to steel production.
