Over 100 guests gathered at ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV's Burnaby campus as representatives from founding partners PacifiCan, the B.C. Centre for Innovation and Clean Energy, FortisBC, the B.C. Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation and the City of Burnaby announced millions in funding support for the ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Clean Hydrogen Hub.
Clean Hydrogen Production from Burnaby to the World
As climate change intensifies, so does the need to reduce greenhouse gases and bring clean energy options to market.
In partnership with government, associations and leading companies in British Columbia and across Canada, the ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Clean Hydrogen Hub will dramatically lower the costs of clean hydrogen production, while co-developing technologies and products to decarbonize the Canadian economy and export around the world.
The hub leverages ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV’s leadership in clean hydrogen research and industry partnerships and demonstrates ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV climate innovation in action. It is a testament to how ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV is engaging in global challenges and focused on creating positive change.
Situated atop Burnaby mountain, the hubÌýwill produce clean hydrogen and willÌýbe a one-megawatt testbed for advancements in emerging clean hydrogen technology. It will also serve as a global centre for research and innovation that will connect stakeholders across the value chain—from academic researchers to system developers and manufacturers, to community partners piloting clean energy solutions, and industry users in manufacturing, heavy duty transport and off-grid energy generation.
