The University of Alberta has launched the Centre for Hydrogen Innovation, Workforce Development and Outreach (CHIWDO) to strengthen Alberta’s position as a leader in hydrogen research and deployment. As global demand for hydrogen fuel and expertise grows, the centre will support hydrogen energy development by advancing technologies across the hydrogen value chain. The centre will focus on research, public outreach, and workforce development, including co-op placements and the development of educational materials for schools and institutions. “We want to develop technologies to help Alberta’s and Canada’s resources become much more environmentally friendly and economically attractive for the world,” said UAlberta CHIWDO Director Amit Kumar.
