Canada has overestimated how much using hydrogen could reduce greenhouse gas emissions over the next decade, potentially jeopardizing Ottawa's ability to meet climate targets, a report from the Auditor General's office said on Tuesday.
Hydrogen is a low carbon fuel that policymakers hope will replace fossil fuels used in industry and heavy-duty vehicles.
The Canadian government has called hydrogen a critical part of the solution to combating climate change and wants the country to become a large-scale exporter of the clean fuel. "In our view, the assumptions in the federal hydrogen strategy are overly optimistic and compromise the credibility of the expected emission reductions," DeMarco said in a statement.
