What a irony to discuss the color of hydrogen, a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas ! We’ll take a look at the different forms of hydrogen production according to its conventional color while highlighting the carbon intensity of the process. Hydrogen on a Spectrum The international color codes for hydrogen refer to the source or…
In Québec, almost 100% of the energy produced comes from renewable energy1. This has been made possible by the particular geography of the province, but also thanks to strong political choices dating back to the 1960s. The thousands of rivers, the huge boreal forests and the great wind capacity found in Québec have largely contributed to the ecological…

In Quebec, almost 100% of the energy produced comes from renewable energy1. This situation has been made possible by the very particular configuration of the province, but also thanks to strong political choices since the 1960s. The thousands of rivers, the huge boreal forests and the great wind capacity found in Quebec have largely contributed to the…
The use of fuel cell forklifts offers substantial advantages over the use of established technologies in the warehouse industry. In this article, we present 5 major benefits of the hydrogen fuel-cell combination for the operation of forklifts. 1 – A healthier environment The first benefit of operating a forklift truck for the operator and his entourage is about the global environment. Firstly, air quality improves…
How to extend the access to mobility and energy to a greater part of our population while minimizing greenhouse gas emissions? This equation seems hard to solve without an alternative solution that is green hydrogen, (i.e., hydrogen produced with a hundred-percent decarbonized process). This article deals with a central element for the use of green hydrogen : the fuel cell. What is it ? First, what is a fuel…
Decarbonizing the trucking industry and the intensive transport industry In 2020, the study on the techno-economic potential of the development of Québec’s hydrogen sector and its potential for the energy transition (TEQ), reports that the major part of Québec’s CO2 emissions come from the transport sector. With 43% of the emissions, the transport industry is responsible for 34 MT released per year. Half…
Last week, we had great news to announce. This week, planet hydrogen did the work for us. News from the four corners of the globe. Indeed, Hyundai just broke the range record for a hydrogen-powered car. Indeed, their Hyundai Nexo, travelled a distance of 778 kilometres without refuelling. It’s incredible! In addition, there was still about 49 kilometres of range in the tank. This showcases…
As we know, hydrogen is booming all over the world. For many, it is a concept that seems distant, or even inaccessible. To prove to you how much closer it is than you might think, we will share some news related to technological advancements in the field of hydrogen. You’ll see, we are not alone! …
