Today, YEG and Edmonton Global were pleased to bring together an extraordinary group of industry and government leaders at the Hydrogen at the Raceway event at RAD Torque Raceway. We enjoyed seeing guests behind the wheel of some of YEG’s Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell cars, taking them for a test drive on the open racetrack located on airport land. As the largest airport by land size with over 7,000 acres in our care, YEG is using some of its vast space to develop the infrastructure required to accommodate hydrogen fuel technology and bridge the future to a net-zero aviation and transportation industry. Collaboration is the key to decarbonizing the transportation sector and working together with industry leaders and champions from across the entire hydrogen value chain drives us closer to a sustainable future. Thank you to all the partners who collaborated to make this a successful showcase of hydrogen technology on our roadways.
