That should be obvious to anyone who is even slightly paying attention.

Of course, PP (and the conservative premiers) is counting on his base to not be in that group.

Obvious solution: build water splitters driven by natural gas.

I'm pretty sure I've seen something about Alberta cracking natural gas to produce "green" hydrogen.

[–] LimpRimble@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The BC Hydrogen Office website talks about both electrolysis and removing hydrogen from natural gas then storing the left over bits underground.

B.C. has several advantages for producing low-carbon hydrogen. More than 98% of electricity generated in the province is clean or renewable. This means B.C. has a significant opportunity to produce clean hydrogen from electrolysis.

B.C. is also home to abundant natural gas reserves and significant geological carbon storage capacity. These are necessary for producing low-carbon hydrogen from natural gas. With these attributes, B.C. can supply the growing global demand for low-carbon hydrogen.

significant geological carbon storage capacity

You don't need to use that storage capacity if you don't pump fossil carbon to the surface :/

Cracking the natural gas is more efficient
