Researchers at Switzerland’s Paul Scherrer Institute have identified Canada as a potential epicentre of future hydrogen production.

Published in Nature Communications, the study explored the costs and environmental impacts of possible large-scale hydrogen economies. Using four possible hydrogen demand scenarios for 2050 ranging from 111–614 megatonnes per year, the PSI team analysed which regions of the world could produce hydrogen most cost-effectively, taking into account renewable energy resources and access to water for electrolysis. It found that large parts of Canada could be some of the best regions for future hydrogen production.
