Quebec sets out green hydrogen and bioenergy strategy
Canadian province’s hydropower infrastructure and forest biomass supply hand it a competitive advantage, says Pierre-Olivier Pineau, professor and chair of energy sector management at HEC Montreal
The government of Quebec has released a green hydrogen and bioenergy strategy to accelerate the production, distribution and use of these two energy types as it chases aggressive 2030 greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets. Quebec is targeting GHG cuts of 37.5pc below its 1990 level by 2030, compared with the Canadian government’s target of 40pc below the 2005 level for the country as a whole. Hydrogen Economist discussed the new strategy with Pierre-Olivier Pineau, professor and chair of energy sector management at Canadian business school HEC Montreal.
