BC Hydro was a leading sponsor of the recent hy-fcell Canada conference in Vancouver from June 5 to 7, 2023.
Attended by members of the international hydrogen and fuel cell community, the event featured expert discussions on sustainable energy, technological developments, and indigenous energy leadership.
Diana Stephenson, Senior Vice President of Customer and Corporate Affairs at BC Hydro, described British Columbia as a hub for low-carbon fuel producers.
"More than half of Canada's clean tech companies call British Columbia home,” said Stephenson. “Our low-cost clean power, large industry cluster, as well as unique funding and siting opportunities distinguish the West Coast as a forward-thinking environment ideal for low-carbon fuel producers to flourish. hy-fcell provided the forum to discuss solutions for decarbonization."
Pierre Poulain, President and CEO of Powertech Labs (a subsidiary of BC Hydro), celebrated the success of the event. "We now stand at the threshold of an extraordinary future, driven by the limitless possibilities of hydrogen. The partnerships, knowledge, and determination displayed here have paved the way for a strong hydrogen industry in British Columbia and Canada. Thank you for your unwavering commitment and valuable contributions. Let us continue our collective efforts to fuel progress and create a brighter, greener future."
