Hydrogen has many potential uses, from powering nonpolluting vehicles, to heating homes, offices and fuelling aircrafts. Hydrogen is highly efficient, and can be produced safely from a variety of diverse, renewable resources. But real challenges exist before hydrogen will become a common fuel source. These challenges include developing reliable storage systems and an efficient method of transporting hydrogen. The Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières is home to the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council Hydrogen Canada Strategic Research Network, and one of Canada’s foremost researchers in the area of hydrogen storage. This network is developing cleaner methods to produce high quality hydrogen from renewable resources and more practical hydrogen storage solutions.
