The study finds that for the Maritimes to realize hydrogen's full potential, the region must take a regionally cooperative approach to energy policy. Among its recommendations are development of a clean energy roadmap for the Atlantic region, creation of a strong regulatory framework with incentives to transform and decarbonize the region's energy system and aligned action plans, policies and high-profile projects that encourage local industry participation. The study shows that renewable hydrogen produced from wind combined with grid-scale hydrogen storage can be an enabler to increase energy independence, heavy duty transport can be a major contributor to hydrogen demand and the potential to use hydrogen for building heating is significant.
