Canada has the potential to become a leader in hydrogen production, leveraging its diverse resources, advanced energy infrastructure, and skilled labour force. CSA Group standards solutions support different pathways in hydrogen production, that can help Canada meet its net-zero objectives.

CSA Group is engaged in various research and standards development initiatives aimed at helping advance hydrogen production sources, technologies, and equipment, including:

• mature production pathways, such as reforming of hydrocarbons and electrolysis of water
• emerging hydrogen production methods
• opportunities for standards to support carbon capture technologies in hydrogen production
• methodology for reporting the production pathway and carbon intensity of hydrogen

CSA Group also plays a key role in North American and international harmonization of standards related to hydrogen production, leveraging its dual (Canada and U.S.) accreditation, binational committees, and collaborative initiatives with other standards development organizations.
