Alberta's opportunity to contribute to global solutions in agriculture, energy, and health is immense. Seizing this opportunity will take big ideas, lots of collaboration, and a little “can do” attitude.

the size of the hydrogen market globally
why Alberta is the best place to produce and export hydrogen
Alberta's progress in developing hydrogen and technologies
key opportunities to scale hydrogen production in Alberta
what is required to scale up the industry
