Canada-Germany Alliance

The Canada-Germany Hydrogen Alliance signed in Stephenville, NL, on August 23, 2022, by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz sets the stage for significant opportunities for Canadian and German businesses and will help to accelerate the global energy transition.

Canada-Germany Alliance

The agreement: 

  • formalizes collaborative efforts by Canada and Germany to advance renewable hydrogen technologies
  • accelerates the global energy transition and safeguards international energy security
  • acknowledges that renewable and low-carbon hydrogen will play an essential role in meeting global energy needs and decarbonizing our industries
  • supports cooperation between the two countries in expanding the global hydrogen economy.
  • enables Canadian companies to more easily deploy their technologies in the German market
  • provides German companies with opportunities to invest in growing manufacturing capabilities in Canada.

The Atlantic Hydrogen Alliance strongly supports the signing of the Canada-Germany Hydrogen Alliance. This agreement will kickstart renewable hydrogen development and is an exciting first step toward establishing a renewable hydrogen economy here in Atlantic Canada, and that’s the primary goal of the Atlantic Hydrogen Alliance. We believe renewable hydrogen will create significant opportunities for our region and lead to economic and climate benefits for both countries for many years to come.

“Ports have a unique role, not only for their own decarbonisation but more broadly in assisting municipalities and provinces with energy transition. Ports that are in provinces or countries where there is a viable supply of renewal energy, are well-positioned to explore the potential for exporting excess energy through transmission mediums like hydrogen derivatives. The Halifax Port Authority is actively engaged with industry and government to enable this energy transition and cement the appropriate role of ports in this market.”
Cpt. Allan Gray, President and CEO, Halifax Port Authority

“The historic visit of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to Atlantic Canada sends a powerful message with respect to our region’s vast clean and renewable energy potential, skilled workforce and innovative private sector. To take advantage of the opportunities presented by a hydrogen economy, all four Atlantic provinces must collaborate and work quickly toward a clear and aligned regulatory environment to support the investment required.”
Michelle Robichaud, President, Atlantica Centre for Energy

“To achieve Nova Scotia’s ambitious net-zero emissions target, the Province must transform how energy is produced and used. This energy transition will need more renewable fuels, like hydrogen, that can be produced at large scale, stored, and used to decarbonize sectors that will be difficult to electrify, such as heavy transportation, the marine sector, and industrial processes”.
John Hawkins, President, Heritage Gas

“According to recent studies coordinated by our team, hydrogen can be an essential part of Atlantic Canada’s energy mix by meeting up to 20% of the region’s energy demand by 2050 and closing decarbonization gaps in sectors where GHG emissions will be difficult to abate. We believe renewable hydrogen will create significant opportunities for the entire Atlantic region and support continued progress toward achieving net-zero emissions."
