The University of British Columbia (UBC) has launched the Smart Hydrogen Energy District (SHED) at its Point Grey campus in Vancouver, creating a $23-million hydrogen energy center. SHED integrates hydro, solar, and hydrogen into a unified micro-grid, showcasing renewable energy technologies. Energy Minister Josie Osborne praised the project as a step towards a clean economy, with UBC president Dr. Benoit-Antoine Bacon highlighting its research and educational impact. Dr. Walter Mérida emphasized hydrogen's role in Canada's low-carbon transition. The center, funded by various partners, including the government and industry, also supports heavy-duty vehicle refueling. This initiative aligns with global efforts to reduce carbon emissions and limit climate change through innovative sustainable solutions.
