EDMONTON, ALTA. – A 100 per cent hydrogen powered community will be rising out of the Prairies.
ATCO and Qualico have secured $2 million in funding to help build Bremner, the first entirely hydrogen powered community in Canada and the largest of its kind in the world, states a news release.
“The work these organizations undertake will position Alberta as a leader in hydrogen innovation. We’re excited to see the outcomes from these projects,” said Laura Kilcrease, CEO of Alberta Innovates, in the release.
Currently the two companies are studying the logistics, technology requirements and other considerations in creating the community.
The community will be built in Strathcona County, near Edmonton, and house some 85,000 people.
“Unlocking the potential of clean hydrogen is an essential part of the federal government’s plan for a prosperous economic future in Alberta and across Canada. I’m pleased to be working with the provincial government to realize that potential,” said the Jonathan Wilkinson, minister of natural resources.
