Edmonton Region Hydrogen HUB is pleased to present a new webinar series, Building A Low-Carbon Hydrogen Economy in the Edmonton Region, focused on equipping industry, government and investors with the knowledge and tools they need to take advantage of the region’s low-cost, low-carbon hydrogen, contribute to the development of this new energy system and position themselves for success in the low-carbon economy.
Previous webinars can be viewed at the links below, along with downloadable PDFs of presentation slides. Be sure to watch this space for upcoming webinars, and keep an eye on our Twitter and LinkedIn to be the first to learn when a new webinar is announced.

Moderated by Edmonton Global CEO Malcolm Bruce and featuring a presentation from Pat Hufnagel-Smith, this webinar offers insights into the workforce required to advance Canada’s hydrogen economy and the opportunities to leverage skilled and available labour and the degree to which an additional workforce must be developed. It also introduces the Hydrogen Workforce Assessment Tool that presents a detailed assessment of the occupations required for each value chain involved in the low-carbon hydrogen economy. A Q&A session will follow.

The term “blue hydrogen” is used to describe hydrogen produced from fossil fuels with carbon capture and storage (CCS). However, there are many different process configurations that can be used to make blue hydrogen and, due to the range of upstream emissions associated with the natural gas feedstock, the result is that there are many different shades of blue. In this webinar, we look at different commercially mature technologies for production of blue hydrogen and the resulting range of carbon intensities that could result.

In the global transition to net-zero emission energy systems, the demand for traditional fossil fuels must decline dramatically, presumably reducing oil prices and adversely impacting the economy of oil-producing regions like Alberta. However, there will still be a need for chemical-based transportation fuels, especially in heavy-duty vehicles where grid electrification is not a credible alternative. Low-carbon hydrogen, which can be made from natural gas coupled to carbon capture and storage, is rapidly emerging as the fuel of choice for these vehicles in a net zero future.
