Hear From Leading Hydrogen Professionals

Speaking at the Hydrogen Convention was a true pleasure and privilege, it encouraged wide-reaching conversations and allowed me to meet many thought-provokers and change-makers in the industry. The organizational support I received in the preparation and at the event made it a simple, yet enthralling experience. The big takeaway from this event for me was the truly global exposure and learnings. It was wonderful to see the best of what Canada has to offer in the Hydrogen space, but also allowed for the opportunity to learn from more mature markets. I made some great connections, but also left with a broader technical understanding of how Hydrogen can be part of the solution to the challenging energy transition.

The Canadian Hydrogen Convention provides an outstanding platform to network, exchange ideas, and gain new insights into the world of hydrogen and its potential to decarbonize various industries. Notably, the high level of participation and engagement from both presenters and visitors made attending this conference an enriching experience for me. In 2024, I had the privilege of presenting in the technical part at the Canadian Hydrogen Convention and would recommend anyone involved with hydrogen-related technologies to participate in this conference.

Certarus was very honored to be nominated for not one but three categories of CHC awards including Hydrogen Delivery, Hydrogen Safety, and Hydrogen Projects. We received the Hydrogen Delivery award for safely and efficiently delivering hydrogen for various projects and we could not be more proud! This was a special night receiving this award because so many Certarus team members work tirelessly to make this a reality. What a great feeling to announce this to our team and see the looks of pride on their faces. Special thanks to the Canadian Hydrogen Convention for bestowing this award on Certarus!

Speaking at the Canadian Hydrogen Convention Technical Conference was a rewarding experience where I had the opportunity to share my insights on the Canadian hydrogen market with a wide audience, engage with industry experts, and forge valuable connections, contributing to the ongoing discourse on the hydrogen sector and the future of it.

It was so wonderful to be in a room full of the hydrogen industry's influencers and decision-makers when we won the Hydrogen Mobility Award. That level of recognition from a panel of our peers has helped set a good tone with provincial and federal governments for a pre-revenue startup like Hydra. As a company just entering Alberta, the credibility we gained from the award enabled starting off connections with relevant stakeholders on a high-note.
