A Feasibility Study on the Development of Oshawa Hydrogen Economy Hub

This project aims to investigate the establishment of a hydrogen hub in the Pickering and Oshawa region to reduce emissions from fossil fuels. Transportation sector is one of the major air pollution sources in Canada. Produced hydrogen will be used in vehicles operated with fuel cell that will be produced by GM and Hyundai. Fuel cells do not emit NOx, SO2, CO2 compared to conventional fossil fuels. Within the scope of this study, the proposed system will be investigated thermodynamically to optimize hydrogen production. In conclusion, this project aims to reduce air pollutants from fossil fuels, as well as to create new business opportunities, and to establish an economic hub based on hydrogen in Oshawa and its surrounding area.
