Wheatland County has announced its participation in the Calgary Region Hydrogen Hub to support hydrogen technology innovations within Alberta, with the aim of contributing to the low-carbon global economy. Amber Link, the reeve of Wheatland County, highlighted the county's role in energy diversification by utilizing its strategic location and resources. The Transition Accelerator, managing the innovation hub, plans to capitalize on Canada's energy capital status to drive investments, create job opportunities, and establish the region as a leader in the clean hydrogen sector. The focus areas of the initiative include heat and power, airports, hydrogen corridors, industrial and municipal fleets, and trains. It is projected that private sector development will reach $75 million and introduce over 100 skilled jobs. The initiative is a collaborative effort involving Calgary Economic Development, the Transition Accelerator, and Wheatland County, with financial support from Alberta Innovates, Calgary Economic Development, the City of Calgary, and Prairies Economic Development Canada. The program sets ambitious targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 60% by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, aligning with the global push for environmental sustainability.
