- British Columbia houses Canada's largest hydrogen and fuel cell cluster with over half of the country's hydrogen companies and 1,350 full-time workers.
- PacifiCan's investment of $9.4 million in the Clean Hydrogen Hub at Simon Fraser University aims to advance hydrogen production and technologies domestically and internationally.
- The Canadian Hydrogen Association, with over 200 member organizations, works to promote hydrogen solutions in Canada and globally, positioning B.C. as a leading exporter in the sector.
The Canadian Hydrogen Association is set to play a crucial role in boosting British Columbia's hydrogen and fuel cell sector with a significant investment from the Government of Canada. The funding, amounting to $466,956, will enable B.C. companies to expand their presence in international markets, drive economic growth, and foster sustainability. Minister Gregor Robertson highlighted the importance of clean energy innovation in propelling Canada towards a hydrogen economy, emphasizing job creation and emission reduction. British Columbia currently leads the way in hydrogen technology, hosting the country's largest cluster of hydrogen and fuel cell companies. Moreover, PacifiCan's recent $9.4 million investment in the Clean Hydrogen Hub at Simon Fraser University underscores the commitment to advancing hydrogen production and technologies both locally and globally. The aim is to leverage B.C.'s industry expertise, strategic market proximity, and natural resources to become a prominent hydrogen exporter. The Canadian Hydrogen Association's efforts, backed by PacifiCan, will not only support local businesses but also elevate Canada's position in the global hydrogen market, showcasing the region's potential for innovation and sustainability.
