- Canada's Hydrogen Revolution as the fuel of the future is discussed in this video.
Canada is committed to reducing its carbon emissions by 40 to 45 percent below 2005 levels by 2030, and achieving net zero by 2050. To meet these goals, Canada’s economy will need to be powered by two equally important energy sources: clean power and clean fuels.
Clean fuels are expected to play a critical role in ‘hard-to-decarbonize’ sectors such as industry and medium- and heavy-duty freight. Even in a scenario with ambitious electrification, it is estimated that 60 percent or more of national energy demand in 2050 could need to be met with clean fuels to meet a net-zero goal.
Canada’s hydrogen strategy aims to have 30 percent of end-use energy be from clean hydrogen by 2050. According to the strategy, Canada produces an estimated three million tonnes of hydrogen per year from natural gas today, but the strategy doesn’t indicate how much hydrogen is produced from low-emissions sources.
Clean fuels are fuels that produce much lower greenhouse gas emissions than traditional fuels on a life-cycle basis. There are many types of clean fuels, including biofuels such as cellulosic ethanol, renewable diesel, synthetic fuels and sustainable aviation fuel, as well as gaseous fuels such as clean hydrogen and renewable natural gas.
Clean fuels can be used to power our transportation and industrial sectors, support Canada’s conventional energy sector in the low-carbon transition and secure a greener future.

My father grew up in Newfoundland and the weather is described like this. "We got as much wind as the Sahara got sun" sounds like a great place for a wind farm 😂
That’s an interesting analogy. Thanks for sharing.
@@renewedenergy they used to and probably still do have separate weather warnings for wind to inform the rail lines when and where to go because the wind way back in the day would snuff out the coal fired trains or just blow them off the track altogether.
Hardly a balanced view. Just one big commercial for the dreamers.
What a crock of shit. Not only is the conversion inefficient, but transporting and storage are really problematic. Just for starters think Hydrogen Embrittlement
Not a perfect fuel but I am for Hydrogen. Net zero is not realistic. FUEL CELL OR ICE no CO2.
Blue Hydrogen is no cleaner than using natural gas and also less efficient, blue hydrogen needs 3 times as much electricity to power a vehicle that if it was directly used in the vehicle
Batteries are very slow to charge, hydrogen is quick to refill. Batteries require a strong connection to the power grid to charge, hydrogen can be stored in tanks. Batteries are very heavy, hydrogen is the lightest chemical out there.
@@KekusMagnus nothing like proving you have not understood a comment by posting to show everyone, well done😄
Ill go with Toyota stance that the Amonia engine is the real deal, Hydogen costs to much electricty to make, produce and distrabute!
And you think ammonia is any better? It is safer than hydrogen, but even more expensive to produce!
@@st-ex8506 no amonia is cheaper to produce when it done to scale... Do your resaerch!
@@locomanjim1554 I don't really need to do a research... I am a chemical engineer and ammonia production is de facto the 101 of my profession.
The present efficiency of the production of ammonia by electrolysis is, at most, 60%. For hydrogen, it is more like 70+%.
But there is NO production of ammonia by electrolysis at scale that I have heard of. There is however quite a bit of research improving said efficiency. So, by the time such process is optimized and scaled-up, you might happen to be correct. However, you cannot state that as a fact, as you did!
However, production is not enough, unless the product is immediately used on-site or "across-the-fence". Otherwise, and especially for energy applications, it has to be stored and transported. And there, ammonia is indeed cheaper than hydrogen, as it is relatively inexpensive to liquify and keep liquid, unlike hydrogen.
Hydrogen is not going to be the fuel for automobiles. The best selling car in the world for 2023 was the Tesla Model Y. In Scandinavia they are getting rid of their hydrogen stations.
EVs are a dead end, for enthusiasts only, not for real people with real work to get done.
This is a joke right?
Sorry to disappoint you, but to any knowledgeable person, hydrogen as long been dead-on-arrival, at least for light road transport. For heavy transport, it is likely to be the same, but the jury is still out. There might be a few such applications, though.
It does not mean that "green" hydrogen is not very much needed... but to replace "grey" (I personally prefer saying "black") hydrogen in 100 million tons of industrial applications!!!
"Blue" hydrogen? A scam!
From somebody with several years of professional experience in hydrogen hydrolysis development.
For heavy transport and air travel, batteries are what's dead on arrival.
@@KekusMagnus What means "heavy transport"? If you mean trucks, then I do not agree, electric trucks will take over that market, except maybe a few niches. If you mean trains and/or maritime transport, then I may be with you.
Short-distance air travel will be electric. Long-distance clearly not... but neither will it be hydrogen fueled.
