The province is partnering on a hydrogen fuel production and distribution network that could provide hundreds of jobs across B.C. and cut greenhouse gas emissions by more than 130,000 tonnes a year.
HTEC, a Vancouver-based firm specializing in clean fuels production, distribution and zero-emissions transportation, plans to build and operate an intra-provincial network of 20 hydrogen refuelling stations – 18 in B.C. – called the H2 Gateway Project, according to an announcement by the province Friday, May 24.
Supplying those stations will be three new electrolyzers that split water into hydrogen and oxygen in Nanaimo, Burnaby and Prince George, plus a new facility that will liquefy 15 tonnes per day of byproduct hydrogen in North Vancouver.
