Canada's Hydrogen Future: Innovations, Policies, and Global Perspectives

扫码查看
Canada has the essential elements to develop a sustainable hydrogen (H_2) economy, including abundant feedstock, a strong energy sector, and international partnerships. The country's climate commitments, financial incentives, and expertise position it as a leader in pursuing net-zero goals. However, a comprehensive framework is needed to integrate H_2 storage technologies, industrial applications, research and development (R&D), regulations, and international collaborations. This review paper presents a detailed assessment of H_2 storage methods, their applications, and key end-users in Canada. The application across various domains is examined in detail, including its role as a fuel (e.g., electricity generation and transportation), a heat source (e.g., buildings and industrial processes), and a feedstock (e.g., the oil and gas sectors and synthetic fuel production). The regulatory and policy frameworks that shape Canada's H_2 economy are analyzed, with a focus on key initiatives, funding programs, and their associated opportunities and challenges. R&D needs are highlighted, focusing on current R&D activities, key priorities, and areas for future investments. The contributions of public-private partnerships in advancing H_2 R&D in conjunction with contributions from research centers and universities across Canada are considered. Key findings and insights are categorized, and the prospects for H_2 energy in Canada's future are discussed. Recommendations are provided for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers to support the continued development and implementation of H_2 energy solutions. In addition, the strategies and objectives of the H_2 short-, medium-, and long-term plans are presented with highlights of the provincial strategies. International collaborations and case studies are discussed, and insights into global practices and their applications in Canada are provided.
