With support from the Province, the University of British Columbia (UBC) is about to break ground on a project that will transform a city-sized block of campus into a world-leading smart energy district to test how hydrogen can be used to power a low-carbon future.

The Government of British Columbia has allocated $10 million to the construction and operation of 10 hydrogen fuelling stations in the province, as well as three years of support for Hydrogen BC.

People in communities across northern, coastal and central B.C. will benefit from new clean energy projects and transportation infrastructure that will create jobs, support local economies and help meet CleanBC’s goals of a cleaner, stronger province.

People in Vancouver Island communities will have more options to plug in their electric vehicles (EV) as investment from all levels of government will expand EV charging stations, offering clean transportation, reducing pollution and supporting CleanBC goals.

A renewed provincial council will advise government and track progress on CleanBC initiatives to reduce pollution and create new opportunities for people around the province.

Eleven building projects have been selected as winners in a juried competition to support the design and construction of energy-efficient buildings.
