This op-ed by our president, Dr. Melissa Lem, highlights a crucial but often overlooked issue: the expansion of B.C.'s LNG industry is driving up healthcare costs and reducing access to care. From ER closures to health risks linked to fracking, the consequences are severe. It’s time to prioritize health over profit. The government must halt LNG expansion until a full health-impact assessment is conducted.

On back of several positive milestone achievements on the permitting front for Denison's Wheeler River and NexGen Energy's Rook I, we feel that momentum has finally swung back in favor to all things Athabasca Basin. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission will conduct its final public hearings on the respective projects early next year. A positive outcome will prompt a final investment decision in mid 2025 (our expectation). At that point, construction can begin. We continue to highlight that in a bifurcated market, North American projects with the size of Wheeler River and Rook I will become paramount amid a continued supply deficit. **Not investment advice, just opinion, observation & analysis.

The Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, has announced $11 million in funding for nine energy technology projects — which includes $8.5 million to support innovation in Canada’s clean hydrogen sector. Of this funding, $5 million will be allocated to three projects in Alberta selected through the Energy Innovation Program’s (EIP) Clean Fuels and Industrial Fuel Switching call for proposals, including Hydrogen Alberta and Canadian Hydrogen Association (CHA) members Aurora Hydrogen and Innova Hydrogen Corp as well as Quantiam Technologies Inc.. The remaining four projects, also in Alberta, are funded through the EIP and the Alberta Innovates's Hydrogen Centre of Excellence, which includes projects of Hydrogen Alberta and Canadian Hydrogen Association (CHA) member ATCO Gas and Pipelines as well Innovative Fuel Systems and New Wave Hydrogen Inc. Many congratulations to all the companies and projects selected for this funding!

Hey LinkedIn community, I wanted to share some thoughts on a recent development that’s caught my attention: Marathon Petroleum Corp. (MPC) has decided to step back from the Prairie Horizon Hydrogen (PHH) project, a key piece of the Heartland Hydrogen Hub (HH2H) initiative. For those not familiar, this initiative was set to drive clean hydrogen production across the Upper Midwest, with big goals for reducing carbon emissions. MPC says they're shifting focus to optimize their existing assets in North Dakota, but let’s be real—this might also be about stepping away from the financial and technological risks that come with pioneering new clean energy projects. And that’s concerning. The HH2H project had serious backing, including a $925 million grant from the DOE, and now, with MPC pulling out, there’s a real question mark over whether this initiative can still hit its targets. What’s more, earlier this year, the PHH project turned down a $75 million state-forgivable loan because the funding didn’t align with their natural gas-based hydrogen production method. This misalignment could be a sign that the project isn’t fully in step with where state and federal clean energy policies are heading. Bottom line: This is a reminder that we need to stay flexible and adaptive in our approach to clean energy. Collaboration between the public and private sectors is key to overcoming the challenges and ensuring projects like the HH2H can thrive. Let’s keep the conversation going—what are your thoughts on MPC’s move and its impact on the future of hydrogen energy in the U.S.? #CleanEnergy #Hydrogen #Sustainability #EnergyTransition #Innovation

Did you know?💡⛽ In 2022, natural gas accounted for 9% of the electricity generated in New Brunswick. While natural gas is an emitting energy source, it provides reliable and stable energy to New Brunswick and serves as a transitional fuel that supports the shift toward greener fuels like renewable natural gas (RNG) and hydrogen. Close to 30 billion cubic feet of natural gas consumed annually in the province is imported via the Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline. New Brunswick possesses vast natural gas reserves, estimated at 77 trillion cubic feet, but currently produces only 1.6 billion cubic feet per year from the McCully Field near Sussex. These undeveloped natural gas resources and the province's strategic location offer an opportunity for New Brunswick to supply natural gas to all of Atlantic Canada. Maintaining a diverse energy mix is essential for ensuring reliability and stability in our energy supply. This diversity helps mitigate the risks associated with dependence on a single energy source and supports the transition to a cleaner energy future. ➡️Learn more: https://ow.ly/XryW50SFv2J ➡️Natural Gas 101: https://ow.ly/Fr2R50SFv2I
