Canada Infrastructure Bank and HTEC Partner to Boost Hydrogen Infrastructure in Western Canada
Key Ideas
  • Canada Infrastructure Bank invests $337 million in partnership with HTEC to establish hydrogen production and refueling network in Western Canada.
  • HTEC plans to build 20 hydrogen refueling stations supported by three new hydrogen production facilities and a facility for liquefying vented by-product hydrogen.
  • The project aims to create over 280 full-time jobs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 133,000 tonnes annually, and enable the refueling of up to 300 heavy-duty vehicles per day.
  • CIB's investment in the CHRI initiative accelerates the deployment of sustainable fuel solutions and drives the adoption of hydrogen as a transportation fuel in targeted regional hubs.
The Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB) and HTEC have joined forces to enhance hydrogen infrastructure in Western Canada. CIB's investment of $337 million will catalyze HTEC's operations in British Columbia and Alberta, establishing a hydrogen production and refueling network. The initiative, known as H2 Gateway, focuses on building sustainable fuel supply chains to reduce emissions in the transportation sector. HTEC plans to construct 20 hydrogen refueling stations across provinces, supported by new production facilities. This development is predicted to generate over 280 jobs and significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions annually. The project also targets the deployment of heavy-duty vehicles with hydrogen fuel cell technology, offering a cleaner solution for commercial trucking. Through this collaboration, CIB emphasizes the potential of hydrogen as a long-distance, fast-refueling option for greener transportation. The partnership signifies a milestone in Canada's efforts to promote clean transportation and bolster economic competitiveness in the evolving landscape of decarbonization.
