Overview
Reducing emissions and addressing climate change is a complex problem that requires a collection of solutions. Canada will need to leverage all pathways to decarbonization.
This course takes a closer look at one potential climate solution – low-carbon hydrogen. Canada is already recognized as a global leader in hydrogen – our expertise in fuel cell technology and innovation is world-class. There is a tremendous opportunity to build on a solid foundation of technical expertise and utilize low-carbon hydrogen to facilitate Canada’s energy transition.
If you are curious about the promise of hydrogen and are looking to develop an informed mindset to further engage in personal and professional discussions about the topic, this is the coure for you. Through a series of interactive online modules, you’ll expand your knowledge about how low-carbon hydrogen can be safely produced, stored, transported and used to reduce emissions. You’ll also explore the environmental, social and economic benefits of low-carbon hydrogen, including employment opportunities that could be gained by developing Canada’s low-carbon hydrogen economy.
This course was developed in collaboration with leading industry subject matter experts and is made possible with contributions from the Department of Natural Resources Canada’s education and awareness project funding – clean transportation and clean fuels.
Upon completion of this course, you'll be able to:
- understand how low-carbon hydrogen can play a role in moving Canada towards decarbonization
- explain your knowledge of the environmental, economic and social impacts of Canada’s hydrogen industry development
- demonstrate greater awareness of how Indigenous communities view low-carbon hydrogen as a climate solution
- demonstrate a perspective on how developing Canada’s low-carbon hydrogen industry could impact you
- explain an understanding of how Canadian industries can produce, store, transport and use hydrogen safely
- explore insights into how Canada can advance a low-carbon hydrogen economy.
The course is structured and self-guided and must be completed no later than the course end date. There are no assessments to complete for this course.

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.
SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
