In Canada, CBC reported that the British Columbia government says a $656 million project to create a network of hydrogen production plants and vehicle refueling stations will create nearly 300 jobs and cut greenhouse gas emissions in the province. The report noted that the Crown corporation Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB) is providing a $245 million loan to support the project by hydrogen company HTEC, which involves plans to build up to 20 refueling stations for hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles, 18 of them in British Columbia and the others in Alberta. The CIB and the British Columbia government say the refueling stations will be supplied by three new hydrogen production plants in Burnaby, Nanaimo and Prince George. They also said that a facility to liquefy 15 tons of byproduct hydrogen will also be built in North Vancouver and the project, called H2 Gateway, will create more than 280 jobs.
