YEG is situated in one of the largest hydrogen production regions in the world, Edmonton, Alberta. This region produces 60 per cent of Canada's hydrogen and is a rapidly emerging hydrogen hub. YEG is developing and expanding its airport-based hydrogen hub, which provides a unique ecosystem for the practical demonstration and deployment of hydrogen technologies. By aligning with H2CanFly and its network of innovators, the airport will contribute its technical expertise, resources and assets to facilitate the future use of hydrogen-powered aircraft and support infrastructure development.
H2CanFly is a multi-phase, collaborative, pan-Canadian initiative with the mandate of accelerating hydrogen and electrification technologies and commercialization, airport infrastructure and essential certification pathways. By enabling access to aircraft platforms, ground testing facilities, infrastructure and collaborative project funding, this consortium aims to deliver practical aviation benefits and reduce emissions, supporting Canada's net-zero goals.
"We support H2CanFly's mission and share in its ambition to accelerate sustainable aviation and clean energy innovation. Joining this pivotal national consortium alongside forward-thinking leaders reflects our strong belief in the transformative potential of hydrogen in the aerospace sector and beyond. We look forward to contributing bold ideas, advancing real-world innovation and driving meaningful change to support a cleaner, more resilient aviation ecosystem."
"We are thrilled to welcome Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to our national initiative. Their leadership and expertise will be invaluable in advancing our collective mission to develop innovative, scalable solutions for sustainable industries. YEG's involvement will further strengthen H2CanFly's collaborative efforts with key infrastructure development, groundbreaking research and real-world applications that drive environmental and economic impact. Together, we will strengthen Canada's position as a global leader in sustainable aviation solutions."
With more than 50 partners from the aerospace sector, academia and government, H2CanFly is leading a unified strategy to drive infrastructure development, research and training to accelerate Canada's clean energy and hydrogen aviation future. Key efforts include exploring opportunities to develop infrastructure, such as on-site facilities, for future hydrogen-powered aircraft, and working with post-secondary institutions to advance research and workforce development.
YEG will serve on H2CanFly's board of directors, strengthening efforts through collaboration with its current prominent industry partners, including Airbus, CAE, the National Research Council, Redrock Power Systems, Tronosjet and Unither Bioelectronics.
YEG is one of the founding members of the Government of Canada's Net-Zero Challenge, committing to transition operations to net-zero emissions by 2050 or earlier.
