Besides the politcal rhetoric of the UCP in the interview , the Alberta feedstock for hydrogen is cheap natural gas(Blue). Correct me if I'm wrong , but XBC is going to be producing Green hydrogen , which doesn't match with the over supply of natural gas in Alberta. To my way of thinking , this won't be an advantage to XBC in Alberta. Imho.

That makes sense Ace. However, they do have feedlots in Alberta where there is a lot of waste material to make into RNG, and they have their own share of landfills. My guess is some green RNG and potentially green H will be built in Alberta for reasons of common sense and image, even though they have gigatonnes of gas.

As an Albertan I don't think we are disagreeing at all ,westcoast . But what you describe is a small RNG installation and that's a needed installation in a setting like that . Also let's not confuse RNG with Hydrogen. What Alberta is taking about is being in the top 3 supplier of Hydrogen in the world and building mega industrial cheap natural gas feedstock into heavy industrial

@ace1mccoy, you're perfectly right. The idea should be to produce blue hydrogen, using fossil O&G and as a second step, capture the carbon released by the first step and send it back into the ground (carbon capture), technically turning the blue hydrogen into green hydrogen. Xbc, indeed, has the tech to do this. What I'm not sure of is at what scale, but where there's a will (and
