The B.C. Centre for Innovation and Clean Energy (CICE) recently announced a significant funding initiative, providing $1.25 million to three British Columbia companies operating in the clean energy sector. One of the recipients, Unilia Fuel Cells, is set to introduce a hydrogen fuel-cell-powered heavy-duty truck. Expander, another recipient, focuses on producing fossil-free, net-zero renewable diesel for long-haul trucking, while InnoCast Concrete, the third recipient, is working on addressing carbon sequestration during hydrogen production. Government support for these initiatives is evident through statements from Josie Osborne, the minister of energy, mines, and low carbon innovation, who highlights the importance of hydrogen and low carbon fuel technologies in reducing emissions in the commercial transportation sector. This move is expected to contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable environment. Additionally, Sarah Goodman, CEO of CICE, underscores the significance of investing in startups in British Columbia, not only for fostering innovation but also for driving economic growth, creating jobs, and promoting sustainable economic prosperity. The funding aims to facilitate the commercialization and scaling of essential net-zero technologies that can revolutionize the construction and transportation sectors in the province.
