Alternative Fuels

Need/Want Directive:

Whereas Alberta should supply alternate de-carbonized fuels for domestic and export consumption.

Need/Want Rationale:

• Remote sites will require clean energy sources where building infrastructure out to those locations would be cost prohibitive.  These sites can be supplied using alternative fuels.
• Oil and Gas infrastructure currently in place can be converted to supply alternative fuels.  This technology exists and does not require a lead time to research for it to be available.
• Development of alternative fuel supply will quickly be demanded for exports.

How Directive:

Be it resolved that:

• Alberta Party will partner with industry to develop a supply chain for de-carbonized alternative fuels such as:
  • H₂ (Hydrogen)
  • NH₃ (Ammonia)
• Alberta Party will partner with industry to develop alternative fuel product infrastructure to distribute alternative fuel choices.
• Alberta Party will seek funding for alternative fuel product infrastructure from the federal government’s zero emission initiative.

How Rationale:

• Industry is already investing in "Blue Hydrogen" projects.
• Infrastructure/supply chain will need to be put in place to distribute the alternative fuels.
• There will be a need to champion funding from the federal government for alternative fuel infrastructure.
