The Canadian Hydrogen Convention in Edmonton saw Indigenous leaders discussing opportunities in the hydrogen sector, emphasizing the importance of Indigenous involvement for a sustainable energy future. Former Enoch Cree Nation chief, Billy Morin, moderated a panel featuring Grand Chief Greg Desjarlais, Reuben George, and Andrew Mercer. Salish Elements, an Indigenous-run company, is set to build a green hydrogen production facility in British Columbia, with a significant ownership by the Xaxli’p First Nation. The collaborative and community-oriented approach of Salish Elements was praised for its engagement with Indigenous communities. The discussion highlighted the need for Indigenous participation at all project stages to ensure successful outcomes. The Alberta government's Indigenous Opportunities Corporation and initiatives like the Edmonton Region Hydrogen Hub aim to facilitate Indigenous investment in energy projects. Indigenous leaders stressed the importance of fostering partnerships and offering equity positions to Indigenous communities for long-term sustainability. The dialogue between Indigenous leaders, like Desjarlais and George, reflected a shared vision of Indigenous-led renewable energy projects and the potential for economic growth and prosperity within Indigenous communities. Despite differing views on the pipeline debate, the leaders showcased a spirit of collaboration and mutual benefit, illustrating the potential for successful partnerships in sustainable energy projects.
