Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) and ATCO EnPower have concluded the construction of two hydrogen production and refuelling stations in Alberta, Canada. The facilities, located in Calgary and Edmonton, are now a fully operational part of CPKC's Hydrogen Locomotive Programme, which retrofits diesel locomotives with hydrogen fuel cells for emission-free operation. ATCO EnPower projects and operations executive vice president Mark Brown said: “We are proud to announce the completion of the two hydrogen production and refuelling stations for CPKC. This advancement marks significant progress in utilising hydrogen as a fuel source for commercial transportation and reflects ATCO EnPower's commitment to building a sustainable future by providing innovative energy solutions for our customers.” Check out the full release here: https://lnkd.in/gh9gMnZD #hydrogen #hydrogenenergy #hydrogenindustry #hydrogenmarket #cleanenergy #cleantech #hydrogenfuelcell #fuelcells #netzero

CHA member ATCO in collaboration with Qualico has brought Canada's first hydrogen-heated home in Sherwood Park, Alberta. Dubbed "HomeOne," the initiative is open to the public for tours, and aims to show that hydrogen gas can be used safely and effectively for heating buildings, while also being part of the clean energy transition.
