With hydrogen as a keystone underpinning\n \n Canada's\n \n \n Climate Action Plan\n \n , a pathway is provided to decarbonize segments of the economy that are otherwise difficult to abate. This includes Heavy- and Medium-Duty Motive applications – such as transit buses, commercial trucks, trains and marine vessels – that have a disproportionately large impact on the emission of CO\n \n 2\n \n and particulate matter.\n \n \n Propulsion power for these types of vehicles using zero-emission fuel cell engines and hydrogen as the fuel is a proven approach that not only advances carbon neutrality, but also generates employment and economic expansion in the emerging renewable energy sector of\n \n Canada's\n \n national economy.\n \n \n \n Randy MacEwen\n \n ,\n \n Ballard President\n \n and CEO commented, \"We are excited by the ambitious framework laid out in the\n \n Hydrogen Strategy for\n \n Canada\n \n \n , which seeks to position\n \n Canada\n \n as a global hydrogen leader and support\n \n Canada's\n \n path to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The strategy articulates a compelling vision for 2050, with up to 30% of\n \n Canada's\n \n energy delivered in the form of hydrogen, an established supply base of low carbon intensity hydrogen delivered at competitive ...
