Hydrogen infrastructure

The hydrogen infrastructure in British Columbia is used to power fuel cell electric cars and buses, material handling products, as well as remote and distributed back-up power applications.

The ideal hydrogen infrastructure will be based upon renewable energy sources for producing hydrogen. This means making hydrogen smartly, from low and zero-carbon sources like wind, solar power, biomass and or capturing waste hydrogen from sodium-chlorate by-product streams.

Ensuring that demonstration hydrogen production results in a legacy of economic growth and environmental benefits for BC and Canada, our early infrastructure is designed to encourage the production of hydrogen cleanly and economically.

The infrastructure has also been placed to provide an evolutionary path to the hydrogen of the future, and supply early feedback to ensure retail stations are reliable, safe and convenient for people to use.
