Heritage Gas: John Hawkins On A Company In Transition

In the last couple of episodes, Don Mills and David Campbell have talked about companies about the ocean of opportunities for power generation and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the region. In this episode, they speak with John Hawkins, the CEO of Nova Scotia-based Heritage Gas, about the natural gas and hydrogen opportunities in the region.

Hawkins provides an interesting perspective on what needs to be done to get to net zero by 2050, especially with regard to the role that renewable natural gas and green hydrogen can play in transforming his company over time. They have also a good discussion about the proposed Atlantic Loop and some of the challenges associated with its implementation.
