BC's Green Initiative: $900M Hydrogen Project to Create Jobs and Cut Emissions
Key Ideas
  • The British Columbia government's $900 million hydrogen project aims to create a network of production plants and refuelling stations, leading to nearly 300 new jobs.
  • The Canada Infrastructure Bank is supporting the project with a $337 million loan, promoting the growth of hydrogen infrastructure in the province.
  • With plans for 20 hydrogen refuelling stations, this initiative will contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and advancing environmental sustainability.
  • The H2 Gateway project includes the construction of hydrogen production plants in Burnaby, Nanaimo, and Prince George, along with a facility in North Vancouver for liquefying byproduct hydrogen.
The British Columbia government has revealed a $900 million project focused on establishing a network of hydrogen production plants and refuelling stations to bolster the province's green initiatives. The Canada Infrastructure Bank has allocated a $337 million loan to support this venture led by hydrogen company HTEC. The project, known as H2 Gateway, is set to include the development of up to 20 hydrogen refuelling stations, with the majority to be located in B.C. and the rest in Alberta. The stations will be supplied by three new hydrogen production facilities to be situated in Burnaby, Nanaimo, and Prince George. Additionally, a plant in North Vancouver will be built to liquefy 15 tonnes of byproduct hydrogen. This infrastructure project is not only aimed at creating around 300 job opportunities but also at significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The collaborative efforts of the federal Crown corporation, the B.C. government, and HTEC highlight a positive step towards environmental sustainability and economic growth in the region.
