In addition to having access to Québec’s vast water resources to generate green, renewable power at competitive prices, Hydro-Québec has everything it needs to support the development of green hydrogen. Green hydrogen, is produced through the electrolysis of water rather than from methane, a process that produces high levels of GHG emissions.
