Fasken: Canada’s hydrogen future
As a signatory to the Paris Agreement, Canada is committed to reducing GHG emissions, recently announcing an intention to slash emissions by 40-45% below 2005 levels by 2030. These ambitious targets are driving federal and provincial governments to promote hydrogen through a combination of new regulatory schemes and financial incentives that are larger in scale and wider in scope than any that we have seen before.
Incentivising the hydrogen switch
With any energy transition, there is a need to bring about wholescale change, from the up, to the mid and the downstream.
