The purpose of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to inform Natural Resources Canada on Canada's hydrogen export opportunities and international hydrogen trade policy. Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) is seeking proposals from bidders to develop a hydrogen export strategy tailored to the Canadian context, examining the unique competitive and comparative advantages of becoming a world leader in the production and export of clean hydrogen and related technologies. The strategy and supporting analysis should consider a variety of quantitative and qualitative measures to identify the opportunities and challenges facing Canada in developing its export potential for hydrogen and related applications (e.g., fuel cell technologies). The export strategy will aim to lay the groundwork for the development of the hydrogen export economy in Canada, including the planning and implementation of a new hydrogen supply and distribution infrastructure to support early deployment centers. The use of hydrogen as a clean fuel plays a key role in meeting global greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. Canada has the opportunity to produce large quantities of clean, low-cost hydrogen in addition to its domestic demand, giving it the potential to become a supplier of choice for a new carbon-free energy export product Period: Date of Contract Award until March 31, 2022 inclusive.
