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.

The Province, through BC Housing, and the City of Vancouver, the BC Non-Profit Housing Association and the Pembina Institute, are working together to find ways to make homes safer, more energy-efficient and less polluting, while reducing heating costs for residents.
