Leading Atlantic Canada's hydrogen sector.
The Atlantic Hydrogen Alliance (AHA) is accelerating Atlantic Canada toward a clean energy future by developing a thriving low-carbon hydrogen sector.
Our Priorities
Work of the Atlantic Hydrogen Alliance is focused in 4 key areas
Complete an Atlantic Hydrogen Roadmap
that describes the optimal low-carbon hydrogen production methods, distribution systems, and end-uses for the development and deployment of hydrogen in Atlantic Canada. The Roadmap will lead to a thorough understanding of hydrogen supply and demand in Atlantic Canada and international hydrogen demand opportunities that could be supplied by Atlantic Canada.
Identify and develop the key enabling conditions
for hydrogen development in Atlantic Canada, including policies, regulations, codes, and standards. This work will be developed through collaboration with regional and national stakeholders and hydrogen experts.
Facilitate the creation of one or more hydrogen 'hubs' in Atlantic Canada
to develop and deploy local hydrogen projects across the full hydrogen value chain by identifying and establishing a pipeline of potential pilot, demonstration, and commercialization hydrogen projects, including project scope, funding requirements, timeline, project developers, and partners. Hydrogen hubs create a framework for the strategic coordination of public and private investments that enable a scale of hydrogen production, storage, transportation, and demand capable of achieving long-term economic viability.
Develop and execute a communications, engagement, and advocacy plan
that will support the other three deliverables. The plan will promote the development of hydrogen in Atlantic Canada through regular communication with stakeholders and the public, advocacy, and engagement with government and other key stakeholders to raise awareness of the economic and environmental potential for hydrogen in the region.
