University of Alberta Research Group Contributes to Alberta’s Hydrogen Roadmap

Dr. Kumar and his team (Ayodeji Okunlola, Matthew Davis, Temitayo Giwa, Giovanni Di Lullo, Eskinder Gemechu, Karina Anaya, Abayomi Olufemi Oni, Minza Haider, and Tanveer Hassan Mehedi) provided the research to support Alberta's Hydrogen Roadmap. Read about how Alberta's plans to develop a world-class hydrogen economy by clicking here. The Hydrogen Roadmap Executive Summary can be downloaded here and the full report can be found here. The CBC has also covered the release of the Hydrogen Roadmap, in this news article. Four papers have been published from this work:
