what is the certificate of l n. g gas from canada in which is would this be helpful or is the focus very clearly on green hydrogen? now canada is a major oil and gas producer in the world. but because of our commitment to fight climate change, we are working very, very hard to de carbonized and develop other sources of energy that we can rely on. and that we can share with the world. what russia's invasion of ukraine has done as 2 impacts. one in the on the global energy situation, in the short term. it has made it imperative that friends and allies of canada like germany and europe reduce their reliance on russian oil and gas. but in the medium and long term it means the world needs to accelerate it.
