Alberta is positioning itself as a major hub for clean hydrogen and ammonia production, focusing on blue hydrogen created from natural gas with carbon capture. The province aims to leverage its existing energy infrastructure to export low-carbon ammonia to Asian markets, particularly Japan and South Korea, where demand for zero-emission fuels is rising. Key projects near Edmonton and Fort Saskatchewan are targeting millions of tonnes of annual ammonia production. Because ammonia is easier to store and transport than liquid hydrogen, it serves as a critical carrier for decarbonizing the maritime, rail, and heavy transport sectors by 2050.
