CIB Invests $337 Million Towards Hydrogen Production and Refuelling Network in Western Canada
Summary
It is estimated that more than 280 full-time jobs will be created to build, operate and support the hydrogen infrastructure.Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles can travel long distances and have relatively short refuelling times, presenting a unique opportunity to decarbonize the commercial trucking sector. New partnerships in this emerging sector will help increase domestic hydrogen production and ensure Canada is economically competitive in a decarbonizing world. HTEC, based right here in British Columbia, is developing innovative methods to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the heavy-duty transportation sector. Josie Osborne, Minister of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation for British ColumbiaThe H2 Gateway vision for HTEC is now being realized. An investment of this magnitude signals confidence in HTEC and the network of dedicated partners delivering safe, low-carbon energy solutions, putting Canada on the map.
