In Person
Canada’s National Hydrogen Strategy projects that by 2050 the country could generate $50 billion annually in domestic revenues from clean hydrogen alone.
The opportunity? Ontario is well-positioned to play a leading role in this growing sector, leveraging our abundant clean electricity resources and a robust industrial and transportation sector. Businesses and the province are already partnering to pilot hydrogen in a range of use cases, from natural gas blending and electricity generation, to powering vehicle fleets.
The challenge? Clean hydrogen today remains an expensive solution and competition from U.S. firms is fierce. Neither of these factors are insurmountable, but they will force companies in the Toronto region to innovate to maximize the economic opportunities of this promising technology.
Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights, connect with industry experts and policymakers, explore potential business opportunities and be part of the discussions shaping the future of Ontario's economy and energy sector.
Climate Tech Breakfast Series: Can Nuclear Technology Superpower Ontario's Cleantech Economy?
Ontario's nuclear industry is already a global leader, having powered the province for over 50 years, helping transition off coal, and now generates more than half of Ontario's electricity.
This is the second event in a three-part series focusing on key climate technologies where the Toronto region is poised to lead. We don’t want to be just resource providers or a ‘branch plant economy’; we want to be a place where innovations are developed, commercialized and deployed. Each event in this series will spotlight a climate technology where Ontario has a competitive edge: batteries & critical minerals, hydrogen, and small modular nuclear reactors. Join us as we bring together industry experts, policymakers and academics to explore strategies for economic growth and scaling within our region.
