The US-Canadian trade relations face tension due to political leadership, but the green hydrogen market sees a beacon of hope. Charbone Hydrogen, a Montreal-based startup, partners with ABB, a Swiss engineering firm, to launch an ambitious North American green hydrogen plan. Despite setbacks like the cancellation of the $7 billion Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs program under Trump's administration, private sector stakeholders push forward. ABB and Charbone Hydrogen's collaboration sets the stage for establishing 15 green hydrogen facilities in the US and Canada, primarily targeting sectors like refineries, fertilizer production, and steelmaking. The focus on green hydrogen aims to diversify the nation's hydrogen supply chain, moving away from natural gas. Sourcing renewable electricity to power electrolyzer systems poses a challenge, but the partners plan to leverage hydroelectric power, as demonstrated by Charbone's existing plant near Montreal. The Quebec government also emphasizes green hydrogen for decarbonization goals. Other players like Nel ASA and Samsung E&A are eyeing green hydrogen projects in the US and Canada. Despite trade war tensions, companies like Electrovaya, Canadian Solar, and Canadian Premium Sand are expanding their clean energy activities in the US market. The article highlights a shift towards green energy initiatives despite political disruptions.
