FortisBC's collaboration with the University of British Columbia Okanagan (UBCO) has led to the establishment of a state-of-the-art hydrogen research lab (H2LAB) in Kelowna. The lab, funded by UBC, FortisBC, and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, is a pioneering space for clean energy innovation, focusing on the integration of hydrogen into the gas supply. Dr. Will Hughes, director of UBCO's School of Engineering, highlighted the lab's potential to drive research, educational opportunities, and long-term industry impact. FortisBC's investment underscores their commitment to low-carbon energy, with a particular emphasis on Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) and hydrogen as sustainable alternatives. Dr. Sediako and his team are actively researching the effects of hydrogen on current infrastructure, aiming to overcome safety concerns and enable widespread adoption across sectors. The lab serves as a crucial hub for academia-industry collaboration, fostering innovation in hydrogen technologies. FortisBC's leadership in developing innovative, low-carbon solutions aligns with their goal of reducing emissions and supporting climate action. The tour of UBCO's lab showcased ongoing research by Dr. Sediako and his colleagues, demonstrating the potential of hydrogen in transforming energy systems. Through this partnership, FortisBC and UBCO are paving the way for a greener, more sustainable future powered by hydrogen and clean energy initiatives.
