The Government of Canada has announced funding of almost $10 million for two groundbreaking initiatives led by Simon Fraser University (SFU) to support B.C.'s leadership in the hydrogen economy and local entrepreneurs. One initiative involves establishing a Clean Hydrogen Hub at SFU's Burnaby campus, with over $9.4 million dedicated to this project. The Hub will utilize innovative B.C.-developed electrolyzer technology to generate hydrogen using hydroelectricity, significantly reducing costs compared to traditional methods and promoting the adoption of clean energy sources. The project is a significant step towards achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and is expected to create jobs, support economic growth, and catalyze the development of the hydrogen sector in Canada. The Hub will serve as a platform for companies to develop and refine hydrogen-energy technologies, contributing to over $100 billion in potential investments in clean energy opportunities and jobs across the country. In addition to the Clean Hydrogen Hub, PacifiCan is investing $425,000 in SFU's Lab2Market program, aimed at helping graduate students and researchers enhance their entrepreneurship skills and effectively commercialize their innovations. This strategic investment aligns with the goal of fostering innovation and supporting inclusive growth in British Columbia. The announcement has been met with positive feedback from government officials, industry leaders, and academic representatives, highlighting the pivotal role of initiatives like the Clean Hydrogen Hub in driving economic growth, promoting sustainable practices, and positioning British Columbia as a leader in the global transition to clean energy.
