A radical transformation is required in the world's energy systems to mitigate climate change and meet Canada's greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. The Canadian transport sector was identified as the second largest source of GHG emissions, accounting for 25% of the nations total emissions. It is imperative to focus research towards enabling the transition of the transportation sector towards a hydrogen-based system. SurePoint Technologies is collaborating with the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology's (SAIT) Centre for Energy Research and Clean Unconventional Technologies (CERCUTS) research group to develop a proprietary prototype to test hydrogen and natural gas fuel blends at varying ratios to optimize performance and reduce tailpipe emissions. The proposed research will hybridize the existing design of the internal combustion engine (ICE) in vehicles to accommodate a mixture of hydrogen and natural gas. The modification of existing ICEs will allow for an easier implementation of technology in existing vehicles without requiring a substantial investment in engine overhaul, while still achieving a notable reduction in tailpipe emissions. The developed technology will spur investments and strategic partnerships across the country and beyond Canada's borders in the mission to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Building a strong hydrogen economy will lead to financial, environmental and health benefits for all Canadians.

世界能源系统需要进行根本性的改革，以减缓气候变化，实现加拿大的温室气体减排目标。加拿大运输部门被确定为第二大温室气体排放源，占全国总排放量的25%。必须将研究重点放在使运输部门向氢基系统过渡方面。SurePoint Technologies正在与南阿尔伯塔理工学院（SAIT）能源研究和清洁非常规技术中心（CERCUTS）研究小组合作，开发一种专有原型，用于测试不同比例的氢气和天然气燃料混合物，以优化性能并减少尾气排放。拟议的研究将混合现有的车辆内燃机（ICE）设计，以适应氢气和天然气的混合物。对现有内燃机发动机的改造将使现有车辆更容易实施该技术，而无需对发动机大修进行大量投资，同时仍能显著减少尾气排放。这项技术将刺激全国和加拿大境外的投资和战略伙伴关系，以实现到2050年实现净零排放的使命。建立强大的氢经济将为所有加拿大人带来财政、环境和健康利益。
