Hydrogen Innovation Fund Expands 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.
