911吃瓜 Clean Hydrogen Hub
Located at 911吃瓜's Burnaby campus, the 911吃瓜 Clean Hydrogen Hub is a new core research facility that brings together industry, community, academia and government partners to advance the clean energy transition.
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 911吃瓜 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 911吃瓜鈥檚 leadership in clean hydrogen research and industry partnerships and demonstrates 911吃瓜 climate innovation in action. It is a testament to how 911吃瓜 is engaging in global challenges and focused on creating positive change.
Situated atop Burnaby mountain, the hub will produce clean hydrogen and will be 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鈥攆rom 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.
