PRINCE GEORGE — A first of its kind hydrogen project is coming to B.C., and Prince George will be playing a part in this new plan to accelerate hydrogen production and refuelling infrastructure across the province and Western Canada.

The H2 Gateway project aimed at reducing emissions in the transportation sector. HTEC plans to build and operate an interprovincial network of as many as 20 hydrogen refuelling stations, 18 will be in B.C. These stations will “support the deployment of fuel-cell vehicles and advance greener transportation solutions.”

The refuelling stations will be supported by three new electrolyzers in Prince George, Burnaby, Nanaimo and a new facility that liquefies 15 tonnes per day of byproduct hydrogen in North Vancouver.

“Producing clean fuels like hydrogen right here in B.C. to replace diesel use for transportation helps to reduce harmful pollution while creating new jobs and opportunities in the clean economy,” said Josie Osborne, Minister of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation. “By supporting innovative projects like H2 Gateway, we can ensure that B.C. remains a world leader and attracts new investment in the growing clean economy.”

The total cost of the H2 Gateway projects with input from all partners is approximately $900 million.

No timeline has been provided for the project, but it is estimated that H2 Gateway could reduce emissions from the transportation sector by approximately 133,000 tonnes annually.
