加拿大是经济合作与发展组织中人均氢气生产和使用最多的国家。2004年，中国的市场份额约占世界总产量的10%，全球市场价值约为600亿美元。在接下来的几十年里，当前和新用途的氢气需求预计将以显着的速度增长。这可能会对已经下降的原料造成相当大的压力。使用化石燃料制造氢气也引起了人们对这种方法的可持续性的担忧，因为全球努力减轻温室气体和区域污染物的影响变得越来越重要。新的氢气生产来源开始出现，加拿大处于充分利用这些发展的理想位置。如果在整个能源和工业系统中使用氢气，则可以显着提高目前的氢气生产能力

Canada is the largest per capita producer and user of hydrogen (H2) in the OECD. In 2004, its share was about 10% of the world total output with a global market value of roughly $60 billion. Over the next decades, H2 demand for current and new uses is expected to grow at significant rates. This could place considerable strain on an already declining feedstock. The use of fossil fuels to create H2 also raises concerns over the sustainability of such an approach, as global efforts to mitigate the effects of greenhouse gases and regional pollutants become increasingly important. New sources of H2 production are beginning to emerge, and Canada is in an ideal position to take full advantage of these developments. Current H2 production capacity could be significantly increased if the use of H2 throughout the whole energy and industrial system were to be
