The federal government is funding 60 “clean fuel” projects across Canada, 12 of which are based in British Columbia.
Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson announced the $800-million investment at a news conference in Vancouver Monday morning.
“While I can’t name the successful projects today, I can share that the government will be funding five fuel types across seven provinces and territories,” said Wilkinson.
The funding under ZEVIP and EVAFIDI includes:
- $3 million to HTEC to install three hydrogen refuelling stations in British Columbia
- $1 million to the University of British Columbia to install one hydrogen refuelling station in Vancouver, British Columbia
- $1 million to Carlsun Energy Solutions Inc. to build one hydrogen station in Ontario
The announcement is one of a series of significant steps the government continues to take to support sustainable jobs and protect the environment. Minister Wilkinson will continue to work with all partners to establish Canada as the global supplier of choice for clean energy in a net-zero world — ensuring a prosperous and clean future for Canadians from coast to coast to coast.
