Halifax Convention Centre


Hydrogen•East | Halifax is Atlantic Canada’s dedicated event focused on the promise and practical realities of low-carbon hydrogen. Held in conjunction with Smart Energy | Halifax, this dynamic conference dives into the regional opportunities and challenges of building a robust hydrogen economy—not just for export, but for transformative domestic use.

 

With hydrogen positioned as a game-changer for high-emitting sectors such as power generation, heavy transportation, chemical production, manufacturing, and oil & gas, the benefits to Atlantic Canada’s clean energy transition are immense. But key questions remain:

  • What’s next for hydrogen development in the region?
  • Can Atlantic Canada maximize hydrogen’s value beyond export?
  • How can we ensure cost-competitiveness amid shifting global economics?
  • Who will finance and build the infrastructure needed for real-world adoption?

This forward-looking summit brings together leading voices from across industry, government, utilities, academia, and finance to explore how to accelerate progress. From the first adopters and early customers of hydrogen production to large-scale infrastructure investments and regulatory frameworks—Hydrogen•East will spark the conversations that drive action.

 

Key Themes Include

  • Infrastructure & Investment – Building the backbone of Canada’s hydrogen economy
  • Market Development – Identifying first customers and enabling adoption
  • Export vs. Domestic Use – Strategic value creation for Atlantic Canada
  • Policy & Regulation – Creating an enabling environment for innovation
  • First Movers – Lessons from early implementation across sectors

Whether you’re developing hydrogen technologies, shaping energy policy, or investing in the next wave of clean energy projects, Hydrogen•East | Halifax is your place to connect, collaborate, and chart the path forward.
