Hydrogen Centre of Excellence

Building Alberta’s hydrogen economy through the Hydrogen Centre of Excellence

The Hydrogen Centre of Excellence will accelerate technology and innovation across the hydrogen value chain, closing innovation and support gaps to strengthen Alberta’s hydrogen economy. Its purpose is to provide innovation support across the entire hydrogen system, from production to end use.

The centre will help make Alberta a world leader in the innovative production, deployment and use of hydrogen across our economy, acting as a connecting forum to bring together researchers, academics, innovators, industry, and various levels of government to help Alberta achieve its hydrogen ambitions.

What is the Hydrogen Centre of Excellence?

Lead by Alberta Innovates, with the applied research and engineering expertise of InnoTech Alberta and C-FER Technologies, the Hydrogen Centre of Excellence is a funding program, testing and service facility, and forum for facilitating partnerships to de-risk hydrogen technology development. Its objectives are to:

• Inform the public about the scopes, benefits and deployment of a hydrogen economy in Alberta;

• Identify technology gaps to broad market adoption of hydrogen;

• Develop and deliver innovation programs to fill the identified technology gaps;

• Provide testing facilities and services, and host demonstration projects; and

• Facilitate partnerships and alliances to de-risk technology and advance projects.
