Enbridge Gas has been awarded significant funding as part of two major hydrogen initiatives aimed at advancing clean energy solutions. The company received $5 million to conduct a System-Wide Hydrogen Blending Study, which will explore the feasibility and maximum limits of blending hydrogen gas into the existing pipeline network. Additionally, Enbridge Gas was granted $900,000 for the Markham Virtual Hydrogen Hybrid Demonstration Project.

The Markham project is designed to showcase the potential of using Ontario’s existing wind and solar assets to produce renewable hydrogen, thereby reducing power supply intermittency. This initiative is expected to play a crucial role in integrating hydrogen into the energy mix, enhancing the stability and sustainability of the power grid.

Both projects are supported by the federal Energy Innovation Programme and the Clean Fuels Fund, reflecting the government’s commitment to fostering innovation in clean energy technologies.

“We are proud to be at the forefront of providing hydrogen solutions to the energy mix,” said Michele Harradence, executive vice president and president of Enbridge Gas Distribution & Storage.
