Until SMR (small modular reactors) are available at Fly-in, fly-out camps and mine sites, they will use diesel or hydrogen. That will take at least a decade.

Alberta is going heavy into blue hydrogen. For them it's a win-win. They transition profit to natural gas (better than tar oil sands) and hydrogen is cheaper to produce, providing a base level of supply for heavy vehicles and the like.




It's still not clear to me if blue hydrogen is a real thing or just PR by hydrocarbon companies.


I thought hydrogen was red.
