Statement issued by Rick Christiaanse, Invest Alberta CEO
We joined Air Products at the Canadian Hydrogen Convention to celebrate the company’s plans to build a permanent network of hydrogen fueling stations along the route between Edmonton to Calgary.
Air Products ongoing expansion isn’t just enhancing Alberta’s reputation for world-leading innovations and leadership, it cements Alberta’s status as the heart of Canada’s hydrogen economy.
This groundbreaking plan for a permanent network of hydrogen fueling stations creates a significant fueling corridor in North America to serve heavy-duty vehicles like commercial and municipal trucks and buses, as well hydrogen fuel cell cars. By continuing to invest in Alberta, Air Products’ visionary leaders demonstrate confidence in Alberta to help reach net zero targets.
We look forward to continuing to support the skyrocketing expansion and success ahead for Air Products.
“With abundant resources, tremendous talent, and forward-thinking governments, Canada is driving the clean energy transition forward.”
– Seifi Ghasemi, Air Products Chairman, President and CEO
