HUB Update: Progress and Next Steps to Build a Vibrant Hydrogen Economy in the Edmonton Region

Thursday, February 24, 2022

Speakers: Dr. David Layzell, University of Calgary / The Transition Accelerator
Mark Lea-Wilson, Edmonton Region Hydrogen HUB

After launching in April 2021, and with a number of major hydrogen projects announced since, the Edmonton Region Hydrogen HUB has made significant progress towards setting the stage for a strong hydrogen economy in the region. This webinar covers the HUB’s status, progress to date, and plans to further progress efforts to build out the hydrogen value chain. 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.

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.
