While green hydrogen is presented as one of the future solutions, the federal commissioner for environment and development adds a discrepancy note by pointing out that Ottawa is placing too much reliance on alternative energy. this.
Interviewed on the show Long liveJohanne Whitmore, chief researcher at the Chair of Energy Sector Management at HEC Montréal, agrees, pointing out that we must first focus on changing habits for new energies to find their effectiveness.
Above all, we should focus on reducing our energy consumption so that we consume less and more efficiently, and there, it makes sense to use new energies such as hydrogen or biofuel. he explained.
The researcher added that electrification is more interesting in terms of energy because it is direct use of electricity.
There’s no shortage of options for hydrogen, it just isn’t going to be a panacea, unfortunately. This is what we should try to change in political and media discourse he commented.
This debate comes as several projects are being developed in this direction in the region, including the creation of a Chair of Research at the University of Quebec at Trois-Rivières.
