The province says it has set aside $20 million over two years for the development of new projects to produce hydrogen.

The government says in a news release its Hydrogen Centre of Excellence is looking for proposals that focus on “production, storage, transmission, end-use, increased competitiveness and economic diversification.”

Up to $2 million is available per project.

“Hydrogen is the next great opportunity in Alberta’s energy sector. That’s why we created the Centre of Excellence and why we’re looking forward to seeing the many innovative solutions that Alberta companies and entrepreneurs will present. We’re proud to be helping drive the clean hydrogen industry forward, with Alberta ingenuity leading the way,” says Dale Nally, Associate Minister of Natural Gas and Electricity in a release from the province.

Opening submissions are due September 5 with full proposals of any projects that are approved due by November 5.

Information on how to apply is available on the centre’s website.
