A clean energy powerhouse
Did you know that hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe? It is also the third most abundant element on earth’s surface and has the highest energy density per unit of mass of any energy source.
Focused on a low carbon future
- Atura Power is producing green hydrogen because it has the lowest emission profile of all hydrogen types.
- Green hydrogen is created when renewable electricity is used to split water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen.
- Hydrogen can help industries across Ontario adopt low carbon energy solutions by providing cleaner fuel for trucks, marine shipping and public transit. It can also be blended with natural gas to generate cleaner electricity and help decarbonize high-emission industries like steel, fertilizer, refineries and chemicals.

Niagara Hydrogen Centre
The awesome power of Niagara Falls has inspired the innovation of Ontario’s electricity system for generations. It was here that the province built what was the world’s largest hydroelectric station more than a century ago: the Sir Adam Beck Generating Station.
Atura Power is proudly building on the legacy of clean power in Niagara Region by developing a 20 megawatt hydrogen facility – the largest in Ontario. The facility will use surplus clean electricity generated at Sir Adam Beck to produce hydrogen for industrial customers across southern Ontario.

Halton Hills Hydrogen Blending
Blending green hydrogen with natural gas to reduce carbon emissions from gas-fired electricity generation.
This project will focus on blending up to 15 per cent low-carbon hydrogen with natural gas to fuel the Halton Hills Generating Station. It will provide critical data to support future blending and accelerate the decarbonization of electricity generation.
This project was supported by the financial contribution of the Independent Electricity System Operator.
Hydrogen Blending at Halton Hills
Blending low-carbon hydrogen with natural gas will reduce carbon emissions from natural gas-fired electricity generation and provide data to support future hydrogen blending projects.
