Ontario Expands Hydrogen Innovation Fund to Invest in Jobs and Our Energy Economy

• Our government is doubling the Hydrogen Innovation Fund to $30 million, a bold move that will grow Ontario’s hydrogen economy and create thousands of good-paying jobs.
• By expanding the Hydrogen Innovation Fund to include applications across key sectors — from transportation to heavy industry — we are positioning Ontario to lead the world in clean energy innovation.
• This funding will fuel Ontario’s manufacturing sector, attract private investment, and support energy-intensive industries that are the backbone of our economy.
• According to Natural Resources Canada, Hydrogen could account for 20% of Canada’s energy mix by 2050, creating up to 135,000 jobs across the country, with Ontario leading the way to secure our energy future.
• Our government is standing strong against the unfair tariffs imposed on Ontario businesses. We will continue investing in Ontario-made energy, supporting local workers and industries.
• As new tariffs on Canadian goods come into effect on April 2, our government is sending a clear message: We will not back down. We are investing in Ontario’s future, supporting Ontario jobs, and building a stronger, more competitive economy.
