B.C. Hydrogen Project to Revolutionize Fueling Stations and Create Jobs
Key Ideas
  • A $900 million project in British Columbia aims to establish a network of hydrogen production plants and refuelling stations, reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
  • The Canada Infrastructure Bank is providing a $337 million loan to support the project by hydrogen company HTEC, creating nearly 300 jobs in the province.
  • The project, called H2 Gateway, includes building up to 20 hydrogen refuelling stations across B.C. and Alberta, supplied by three new hydrogen production plants.
  • Additionally, a facility in North Vancouver will be constructed to liquefy 15 tonnes of byproduct hydrogen, further contributing to job creation and environmental sustainability.
The British Columbia government has announced a groundbreaking $900 million project focused on creating a network of hydrogen production plants and refuelling stations in the province. The initiative, known as H2 Gateway, is set to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions while fostering economic growth. The Canada Infrastructure Bank has stepped in to support the project with a $337 million loan, in collaboration with hydrogen company HTEC. The plan involves the construction of up to 20 hydrogen refuelling stations, with 18 stations slated for British Columbia and the remaining two in Alberta. These stations will be powered by three new hydrogen production facilities to be established in Burnaby, Nanaimo, and Prince George. Additionally, a facility in North Vancouver will be developed to liquefy 15 tonnes of byproduct hydrogen, further enhancing the project's environmental impact. The collective efforts are expected to generate over 280 job opportunities, providing a significant boost to the local economy. The H2 Gateway project represents a significant step towards sustainable energy practices and marks a positive direction in the fight against climate change.
