hydrogen

The mottled bright green leaves of a pothos plant stood out against the flashy expanse of electric vehicles and smart products at the CES tech show in Las Vegas this year. This particular version of the familiar houseplant was bioengineered to remove 30 times the amount of indoor air pollutants of a typical house plant, according to Neoplants, the Paris-based company that created it.

The Nova Scotia government is updating its air quality regulations as the province conducts an environmental assessment for one of its first green hydrogen and ammonia projects.

A hydrogen project and an Alberta-based lithium company are the two most recent beneficiaries of federal funding aimed at helping industries with high greenhouse gas emissions cut back on pollution and develop clean technology.

Oil and gas companies that pushed the federal government for more funding for carbon capture technology will be sorely disappointed by the fall economic statement.

The federal government is banking on hydrogen to help heat buildings in Canada’s energy transition, but an analysis of dozens of studies across the world says this isn’t a realistic role for the potentially low-carbon fuel.

Critics say Nova Scotia needs to focus on decarbonizing its own grid, 51 per cent of which is powered by coal, before sending energy abroad.

The Canada-Germany hydrogen pact sends a positive signal about the future of the industry, but its short timeline seems "difficult" given how long it is taking to get smaller projects running within Canada, a transit advocacy groups warns.

Canada and Germany say a new hydrogen pact will kick-start a transatlantic hydrogen supply chain, with the first deliveries expected in just three years.

Patrick Laracy says the historic deal signed on Tuesday, August 23, 2022, between Canada and Germany involving hydrogen energy could be a boon for his company’s salt reserve in western Newfoundland.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the German chancellor are visiting the western Newfoundland town of Stephenville later today, August 23, 2022, where they're set to sign a green energy deal.

An energy pact between Canada and Germany expected to be signed next week in Newfoundland and Labrador will set aggressive timelines and targets for exporting hydrogen to Germany, Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said on Friday, August 19, 2022.

Some energy experts warn a deal to sell Canadian hydrogen to Germany will serve as only a small, far-off and expensive part of the solution to Europe’s energy crisis.

An unexpected deal reached by Senate Democrats would be the most ambitious action ever taken by the United States to address global warming and could help President Joe Biden come close to meeting his pledge to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, experts said on July 28, 2022.

As a society, we need to acknowledge the tradeoffs of all these options for achieving net-zero and discuss what impacts we will accept.
