BASICS OF GREEN HYDROGEN (H₂)
IN CANADA’S ENERGY SYSTEM

Canada is rich in
resources to produce
green H2 – water and
clean electricity.

Produced only
through electrolysis
the process of splitting water
molecules into pure H2 and
oxygen using emission-free
electricity.

Many use cases
• transport and logistics,
• industrial processes, like cement
or ammonia production, refining, and steelmaking,
• renewable energy into
storable form,
• and more!

EXAMPLE: H2 DELIVERS ADVANTAGES
FOR HEAVY FREIGHT TRUCKING

H2 Truck Solution:
H2 feeds a fuel cell, which runs the truck. Pure water vapour is the only tailpipe emissions. Fuel cell trucks are already driving on roads in Alberta, the US, and Europe.

Canada’s heavy trucks
emit 35 megatons of
GHGs / yr. Switching
them to green H2 would
cut those emissions and
reduce air pollutants.

Transportation is
Canada’s 2nd heaviest
emitting sector,
accounting for 25% of
all GHG emissions.

Refueling:
Like regular trucks, these trucks could fill up on H2 quickly at stations on routes like the Trans-Canada and Windsor-Quebec Corridor.

Next Hydrogen is positioned to capitalize on this market opportunity as the only
public pure-play designer and manufacturer of electrolyzers in North America

NH revolutionary cell design architecture enables the following technological advantages
aimed at driving the lowest levelized cost of hydrogen and infrastructure scale solutions:

High Current Density
Up to 2.5x higher current
density resulting in more
hydrogen production
using less materials.

Superior Dynamic Response
5% per second versus up to 5%
per minutes for conventional
alkaline systems, allowing for
better capture of renewable
energy resources.

Scalable Design
Next Hydrogen electrolyzers
are inherently scalable
resulting in significant
economies of scale.
