This report from Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Hydrogen Task Force assesses the market potential for hydrogen in Alberta and then focuses on one region of Alberta, the Industrial Heartland near Edmonton, to explore how a vibrant hydrogen economy could be built there. The hope is that this work will lead to an industry and government led deployment of a hydrogen node in the Alberta Industrial Heartland.
