The discussion paper set out a vision for a new hydrogen economy in the province, with the hope that it would attract investment, and lead to more job creation, while helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions using low-carbon hydrogen. This strategy aimed to eventually help Ontario achieve its greenhouse gas reduction target.   The province hopes to achieve the following goals for its hydrogen strategy:

• help lower greenhouse gas emissions;
• support a reliable and affordable energy system in Ontario;
• help the hydrogen sector in Ontario tap into growing global demand for hydrogen and hydrogen-related solutions; and
• reduce regulatory barriers and support partnerships with the private sector, academia and other governments.
