Figure 1 is a rendition of hydrogen molecules. Figure 2 is the first-ever image of a hydrogen atom, which was produced by Aneta Stodolna and colleagues at the of the Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM) Institute for Atomic and Molecular Physics (AMOLF) in the Netherlands (2013).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ktproject.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Figure-2-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-964\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Figure 3 is a historical timeline documenting almost 400 years of hydrogen development and use between 1671 and 2020, and forces that may contribute to a transition to a hydrogen economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ktproject.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Figure-3-1024x653.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-965\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The historical timeline shown above does not include all key dates, nor recent developments. Advancements are being made by countries, institutions, organizations, and personnel around the world, and at an ever\u2011increasing pace. Hydrogen is now reported on in the news every day with announcements of new alliances, innovations, projects, strategies, technologies, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal of the\nhydrogen economy (and other renewable energy initiatives) is to achieve a\nclimate-neutral economy with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This\nobjective aligns with international commitments to climate action under the\nParis Agreement[2].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>World-wide Hydrogen\nStrategies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over 25\ngovernments around the world have released, or are about to release, a hydrogen\nstrategy to support the hydrogen economy[3]. Industry and investor\norganizations, regional governments, and others are also developing and\nimplementing hydrogen strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Canadian Hydrogen\nStrategy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many Canadians\nmay not be aware of the production and use of hydrogen in Canada. Canada is\nalready one of the world\u2019s top 10 producers of hydrogen at 3,000,000 tons (3,000\nkilotons tons) per year (2020)[4]. Hydrogen is used as a feedstock for\nfertilizer and petrochemicals, and in other industrial applications[5].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2020, the Government of Canada released its hydrogen strategy, the <em>Hydrogen Strategy for Canada<\/em>[4]. In summary, it plans to develop:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Canada as:\n<ul>\n<li>One of the top three producers of clean hydrogen by 2050; and,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The world&#8217;s hydrogen supplier of choice. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clean hydrogen as 30% of Canada&#8217;s energy supply by 2050; and,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hydrogen hubs that leverage regional opportunities and strengths for hydrogen production and use[6].<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Albertan\nHydrogen Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alberta is one\nof Canada\u2019s top producers of hydrogen. The Alberta Industrial Heartland (AIH)\nproduces 2.25&nbsp;kilotons (2,250 tons) of hydrogen per day, and operates a\nhydrogen pipeline and two carbon dioxide pipelines (2020)[7].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2020, the Government of Alberta released its hydrogen strategy, which is included in <em>Natural Gas Vision and Strategy<\/em>[8]. In summary, it plans to develop:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Export of\nhydrogen and hydrogen products world-wide by 2040;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Large-scale\nhydrogen production with carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS); and,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use of various\ncommercial hydrogen applications within Alberta by 2030[9].<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Energy of\nthe Future?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hydrogen may or\nmay not be a clean energy of the future. It has great opportunities and promise.\nHowever, it also has some great challenges. Read about pros and cons to\nconsider, next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hydrogen has many pros, including that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>It can be produced locally from numerous sources (including water) and is renewable;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is a&nbsp;zero-carbon&nbsp;fuel&nbsp;that can be used in&nbsp;fuel cells&nbsp;and&nbsp;internal combustion engines;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is nontoxic and does not damage human health;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is the most abundant element in the universe; and,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Its combustion produces only water vapour.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hydrogen has many cons, including that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC) is a concern with materials\nmade of carbon steel;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It can only be mixed into a typical carbon steel natural\ngas pipeline system to a maximum concentration of 20% before it damages equipment\nand pipe metallurgy;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Its combustion can produce oxides of nitrogen (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/NOx\">NO<sub>x<\/sub><\/a>);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Its extraction and storage are relatively expensive,\nso technical improvements are needed; and,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Its liquefaction occurs below -253\u00b0C (-423\u00b0F), which is much colder and more difficult than the\nliquefaction of natural gas, which occurs below -162\u00b0C (<a>&#8211;<\/a>260\u00b0F).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other Factors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For hydrogen to\nbecome the clean energy of the future, the cons must be addressed. Table 1 lists\nmany other factors that also need consideration before the hydrogen economy can\nsucceed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ktproject.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Table-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-966\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A Hydrogen Forum: the Canadian\nHydrogen Working Group<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 2020, the Canadian Hydrogen Working Group\n(CHWG) advocates for development of the Canadian hydrogen industry through\naction, communication, and education.
