Accelerating hydrogen production and refuelling infrastructure in Western Canada.

Partnership will support the emerging hydrogen infrastructure ecosystem and advance greener transportation solutions.

Fast facts

Promotes the adoption and deployment of fuel cell vehicles and low carbon transportation solutions
Up to 20 hydrogen refuelling stations to be built in British Columbia and Alberta
Estimated to generate more than 280 full-time jobs over the construction and operations phases

We are investing $337 million in hydrogen production and refuelling infrastructure to accelerate the deployment of fuel cell vehicle technology, and advance greener transportation solutions.

The CIB’s loan will enable HTEC, a leader in hydrogen technology, to expand operations in British Columbia and Alberta. A new liquefaction facility, three new hydrogen production facilities, and up to 20 new hydrogen refuelling stations will be built to support Canada’s emerging hydrogen market.

Benefits of the CIB’s involvement

This investment represents the CIB’s third deal under the Charging and Hydrogen Refuelling Infrastructure (CHRI) Initiative, which is focused on accelerating the private sector’s rollout of large-scale zero-emissions vehicle (ZEV) chargers and hydrogen refuelling stations to help spur the market for private investment.

This partnership will help accelerate the deployment of Canada’s low carbon fuel capacity and reduce emissions in the transportation sector by approximately 133,000 tonnes annually.

The H2 Gateway vision for HTEC is now being realized. With the CIB’s strategic investment, we are poised to establish highly sustainable hydrogen ecosystems that will drive the adoption of zero-emission transportation and support larger regional hydrogen hubs. An investment of this magnitude signals confidence in HTEC and the network of dedicated partners delivering safe, low-carbon energy solutions, putting Canada on the map.
