The B.C. Centre for Innovation and Clean Energy (CICE) is partnering with Deloitte to produce a B.C. Hydrogen Investment Blueprint that will drive investment in the low carbon hydrogen sector and lay a foundation for the establishment of a hydrogen hub in Metro Vancouver.
BCTA is part of the Guiding Community that was formed to provide recommendations on the Blueprint that will highlight actionable opportunities for prospective investors, such as:
- hydrogen supply, including various means of low-carbon hydrogen production established in the Province
- infrastructure or network requirements to enable hydrogen offtake for the industry and transportation sectors
- demand opportunities that are the best applications for hydrogen to optimize emission reductions
- opportunities to export BC produced hydrogen to global markets
- gaps to be closed for upstream, midstream and downstream to enable investments
- key government mechanisms to enable the hydrogen market, including policies, regulatory requirements
Other members of the Guiding Community include representatives from the Vancouver Economic Commission, FortisBC, the Vancouver Maritime Centre for Climate, the Province of BC, Indigenous Community Representation, Invest Vancouver, BC Hydro, the Canadian Hydrogen Fuel Cell Association, TransLink, YVR, Port of Vancouver, Parkland, and Metro Vancouver.
Members of industry will also be invited to participate in a stress test to validate findings and ensure that the Blueprint's contents resonate with key stakeholders. If you are interested in participating in the B.C. Hydrogen Investment Blueprint stress test, please email info@cice.ca by June 1, 2022.
