Envisioning a Hydrogen Hub in Northeast BC (In-Person)

- Organizer: Foresight
Foresight is inviting First Nations, innovators, industry, regulators, utilities, government and sector experts to participate in a workshop assessing the opportunity to develop a Northeast BC Hydrogen Hub.
A key challenge facing hydrogen development in BC is matching supply and demand. Regional hydrogen hubs, as outlined in the BC Hydrogen Strategy, can overcome this challenge by co-locating hydrogen production and end-use applications while accelerating the growth of the local economy.
The Lower Mainland, Northeast BC, Interior BC (Kootenays and Okanagan) and Vancouver Island were identified as key economic regions where hydrogen projects are developing. This workshop is the second in a series across the province that will support the completion of opportunity assessments for regional hydrogen hubs.
The Northeast BC workshop will feature facilitated discussions and interactive exercises, along with an educational Hydrogen 101 component and a presentation from the City of Prince George. We will discuss key research questions, including local hydrogen feedstocks, infrastructure, transportation, end-uses, and the region’s competitive advantages. We will also host a mapping exercise to envision what a regional hydrogen hub could look like in 2035 (for an example, see our Lower Mainland report).
Complimentary lunch and refreshments will be provided throughout the event.
This event is at capacity. If you'd like to be added to the waitlist, please email cmartinezrubio@foresightcac.com.
Foresight is pleased to be able to provide travel reimbursements on a limited basis for Indigenous leaders in Northeast BC who would like to attend this workshop but require financial support to do so. Please reach out to cmartinezrubio@foresightcac.com for more information.
We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the B.C. Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation to advance this project.
