The first commercial Hydrogen refueling station in Alberta

Our group has attended the ribbon cutting of Alberta’s first commercial hydrogen fueling station at Blackjacks Roadhouse. Supported by key stakeholders including PrairiesCan, Nikola Motor Canada Inc., and Suncor, this collaboration underscores the region’s commitment to pioneering sustainable energy solutions. With the goal of integrating 5,000 hydrogen or dual-fuel vehicles on Western Canada’s roads by 2028, this initiative heralds a greener, more sustainable future.

Net-zero emissions in Canada by 2050

Canada’s goal of net-zero emissions is both a way to protect the environment and grow the economy. Canada has tabled legislation that legally binds the Government to a process to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. This is an important step on our path to secure a competitive Canadian economy and a sustainable future for our kids and grandkids.
