In a significant development, a deal between Canada and Germany for the export of Canadian green hydrogen to Germany is currently pending final decisions on funding and competition approval from European regulators. The agreement, signed by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Newfoundland in August 2022, involves a joint pledge of $600 million to support Canadian companies in accessing German markets and ensuring Germany's access to competitively priced clean energy products from Canada. However, further funding decisions are yet to be concluded, and the project requires approval from European regulators to ensure adequate competition in the market. The initiative also involves a competitive auction process that allows Canadian firms to bid for supplying Europe with clean hydrogen, with the aim of driving down the cost of hydrogen and promoting the transition to clean energy sources. While the auction process was expected to launch by the end of 2024, it has been delayed pending a review of the proposed auction parameters by the European Commission. The project's success is crucial for Germany, as the country plans to replace coal-fired power plants with hydrogen over the next two decades to reduce its reliance on Russian energy in response to the conflict in Ukraine. The project highlights the global shift towards green hydrogen, which is considered the most climate-friendly form of hydrogen fuel. Green hydrogen is produced through electrolysis powered by renewable electricity, making it a sustainable and low-emission energy source. Several hydrogen extraction projects have been proposed in Atlantic Canada, involving the development of new wind farms to generate power for producing green hydrogen. It is essential to distinguish green hydrogen from other forms, such as grey hydrogen produced from natural gas, which emits greenhouse gases, and blue hydrogen produced through carbon capture and storage to reduce emissions. Overall, the Canada-Germany green hydrogen export deal represents a significant step towards promoting clean energy collaboration between the two countries and supporting the global energy transition towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly sources.
