Friday was a significant day for Alberta's hydrogen ecosystem. The same morning we announced the launch of the Calgary Region Hydrogen Hub, the Edmonton Region Hydrogen HUB started the next chapter in its mission. Collaboration and cooperation are essential to building on Alberta’s strong foundations in the hydrogen economy. The Calgary and Edmonton regions each have their unique strengths, opportunities, and challenges, but we share a vision of a thriving future for our province and for all of Canada in a world moving to reduce its emissions, and we look forward to discovering ways to bring that vision to life.
Today, the Edmonton region’s hydrogen ecosystem came together to celebrate a new phase for the Edmonton Region Hydrogen HUB. This relaunch marks a shift toward deeper collaboration, focused execution, and regional leadership in building a low-carbon economy. At the heart of this new chapter is a renewed governance structure and a dedicated group of funding partners: Alberta's Industrial Heartland Association, Edmonton Global, Edmonton International Airport (YEG), and Alberta Innovates. Together, these partners are driving collaboration across the region—aligning industry, government, and community to accelerate the growth of our hydrogen economy. With a strong leadership and history building the Edmonton region's hydrogen ecosystem, Brent Lakeman, Executive Director for the Edmonton Region Hydrogen HUB brings an assured vision for the future successes of our hydrogen economy. Thank you to the speakers who helped mark this important milestone: Mayor Alanna Hnatiw, Mayor of Sturgeon County and former Chair of the Edmonton Region Hydrogen HUB; the Honourable Dale Nally, Minister of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction, Government of Alberta; Malcolm Bruce MSM, ICD.D, CEO of Edmonton Global; Myron Keehn, President and CEO of Edmonton International Airport (YEG); Bryan Helfenbaum, Associate Vice President, Clean Energy at Alberta Innovates; Jessica Lof, Development Manager, Hydrogen for Mobility, Air Products Canada Ltd.; Gregory Caldwell, Director of Policy and Advocacy at ATCO Energy Systems; and Rebecca Goldsack, Chair of Hydrogen Alberta and COO of Diesel Tech Industries. Your insights and leadership reflect the strength and momentum behind this work. A special thank you to Mayor Amarjeet Sohi and Mayor Simon Boersma for your attendance and continued support. This next phase is about building on the momentum of our hydrogen economy, working across sectors, connecting communities, and driving investment.
