Flagship project

Trans-Québec 1

A planned network of eight stations making hydrogen accessible to fleets operating on Québec’s main corridors.

A network designed as corridor infrastructure

Trans-Québec 1 combines site development, local green hydrogen production where applicable, and refuelling equipment suited to heavy-duty trucking.

The network is structured to scale progressively in step with vehicle availability and operational conversion.

Project highlights

Trans-Québec 1 by the numbers

A structuring network connecting 97% of Québec’s population to many logistics hubs across Canada and the U.S. Northeast.

The network

8 stationsacross the Trans-Québec 1 network
97 %of Québec’s population connected to the network

Infrastructure and flexibility

5 to 10 MWof electrolysis per station
Up to a 96% reductionin power draw without interrupting refuelling

Economic impact

Nearly $560 millionin investment, without provincial subsidies
$1 billion over 20 yearspositive impact on the trade balance

Environmental impact

150,200 t CO₂e/yearof emissions avoided
≈ 50,000 vehiclesgas-powered passenger vehicles taken off the road each year
45 million L/yearof diesel displaced by locally produced green hydrogen

As of June 3, 2026. Equivalency based on the Natural Resources Canada greenhouse gas equivalencies calculator cited by Environment and Climate Change Canada (≈ 3.0 t CO₂e per gas-powered passenger vehicle per year).

From vision to deployment

Infrastructure developed over several years

Trans-Québec 1 is the result of sustained development, engineering and ecosystem mobilization. The next decisions will move the project from preparation to deployment.

2022 — Completed milestone

Launch of Project 117

First stations planned in Val-d’Or and Saint-Jérôme to create an initial hydrogen trucking corridor.

2023 — Completed milestone

Trans-Québec 1 is born

Project 117 expands into a station network connecting Québec’s main economic corridors.

March 2023 — Completed milestone

Electric capacity requests

Submission of the requests required to power the stations and produce green hydrogen locally.

2025 — Completed milestone

Advanced engineering and strategic agreements

Completion of Class 3 engineering under the AACE classification and strategic agreements supporting commercial development, energy distribution, financing and deployment of the first fleets.

Current stage

Electric capacity and permitting

Securing electric capacity and obtaining the required permits to meet the conditions for final investment decisions.

After several years of development, the completion of advanced engineering and the mobilization of strategic stakeholders, Trans-Québec 1 is ready to reach final investment decisions. Deployment now depends on securing electric capacity and obtaining the required permits.

Deploying supply and demand together

1

Qualify corridors

Identify routes, volumes, schedules and refuelling needs.

2

Prepare sites

Secure locations, the required electricity access, permits and technical integration.

3

Convert fleets

Align vehicle availability with the progressive opening of stations.
