Why is the Province of Manitoba interested in hydrogen?
• Manitoba is committed to the Kyoto Protocol to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, requiring new efficient transportation technologies and new fuels like hydrogen. • Hydrogen represents an energy carrier that is clean, its only end product being water, and often characterized as the “ultimate fuel of the future.” • Using hydrogen could eliminate emissions of greenhouse gases and other harmful pollutants. • Hydrogen can be produced without foreign energy imports, increasing energy security. Manitoba now imports nearly all its liquid fuels and all its natural gas. • Hydrogen and new technologies represent economic development opportunities for Manitoba.
