This episode of Atlantic Canada's Hydrogen Journey explores the potential of hydrogen as a clean energy source in Atlantic Canada and why hydrogen hubs could be the key to building a thriving domestic hydrogen market. The discussion highlights the challenges of transitioning to hydrogen, the importance of stakeholder collaboration, and the need for government leadership to create a supportive policy framework. Guests Sandy Schembri, NorthStar Public Affairs and David Layzell, The Transition Accelerator, emphasize the importance of developing hydrogen hubs and overcoming the chicken and egg dilemma of supply and demand. They also discuss the future opportunities for hydrogen production and its role in achieving net-zero emissions.
