ÌìÑÄÉçÇø

Solving global challenges takes genuine collaboration, which is why the centre brings together researchers, educators and innovators from across the ÌìÑÄÉçÇø.

By drawing on diverse expertise, we turn knowledge into real-world impact. The centre also serves as a think tank, a place where government and partners can engage directly with experts and be met with forward-thinking, practical solutions.

With more than 60 researchers already involved, we’re driving innovation, policy and workforce development — together.

Already, the U of A is making hydrogen work in the real world:

• Developing a revolutionary catalyst that allows the production of pure hydrogen from water
• Developing blue hydrogen production technology using methane pyrolysis
• Powering heavy industry and transportation with hydrogen-diesel hybrid engines
• Producing hydrogen through solar-driven water splitting using abundant materials
• Confirming Alberta’s salt caverns as a solution for large-scale hydrogen storage
• Shaping Alberta’s Hydrogen Roadmap with real-world, policy-informing modelling tools
• Partnering with Indigenous communities, industry and government to co-create solutions across the hydrogen value chain

The centre is our next step to integrate, accelerate and scale this momentum.
