Hydra Energy breaks ground
PRINCE GEORGE – Today, Hydra Energy, continued to accelerate the adoption of hydrogen-based transportation by breaking ground on the world’s largest hydrogen refuelling station in Prince George, British Columbia. This marks the first project in the company’s Western Canadian Hydrogen Corridor servicing B.C.- and Alberta-based heavy-duty trucks that have been converted to run on both hydrogen and diesel using Hydra’s zero-cost, co-combustion conversion kits. This includes Hydra’s first paying fleet customer, Prince George-based Dymin Mechanical, whose fleet will represent 12 of the 65 trucks the new station will support. “What’s so important about designing and building our own hydrogen refuelling station is that it solidifies a template of how to overcome the chicken and egg problem that has plagued the hydrogen sector.
This Prince George station demonstrates that hydrogen can be provided at diesel parity without up-front capital costs for fleets,” stated Hydra Energy Service Delivery Lead, Ilya Radetski.
Hydra’s CEO, Jessica Verhagen, added, “We’re grateful for the support of the Prince George community since the region is a perfect place to demonstrate our proprietary hydrogen conversion technology due to its cold weather, challenging terrain, and the heavy payloads common in the area.”
