Hydrogen a focal point of UBC’s $23m renewable energy hub
The University of British Columbia (UBC) has unveiled major plans for a $23m renewable energy hub that will transform an entire city block into a smart energy district – and the plans include one of the province’s first hydrogen refuelling stations.
Unveiling such ambitions on Wednesday (5
th May), project lead Dr. Walter Mérida, said the hub will become a city-scale, “living laboratory” that explores critical links between energy, transportation and urban design.
A key feature of the development will be a water electrolyser that will use electricity from the hub’s solar panels to split water into hydrogen and oxygen to produce 100% clean hydrogen that will then be utilised at the onsite hydrogen station for light and heavy-duty vehicles.
Work has begun on a new $23-million renewable energy hub at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.
An entire city block is being transformed into an energy district to include the first hydrogen refuelling station for light and heavy-duty vehicles in the province.
B.C.’s Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation has contributed $5.6 million toward the project in low-carbon fuel standard credits. Other funding is coming from the Canada Foundation for Innovation, BC Knowledge Development Fund, Natural Resources Canada, Western Economic Diversification Canada and industry partners.

Genomics and other omics tools in biological science such as phenomics, microbiomics, proteomics involve the study of the appearance, structure and behaviour of animals, their microbiomes and cell proteins. Researchers have made tremendous progress in these areas over the past decade, and they can now use these advanced tools for extensive livestock production, he said. The beef cattle industry is tremendously important in the West, with Saskatchewan and Alberta accounting for 70 per cent of Canada’s beef production, Adams said. Consequently, even incremental changes in performance translate into big gains in economic value and job growth. Adams’ Integrated omics for sustainable animal agriculture and environmental stewardship (IntegrOmes) project has been awarded $6.75 million over five years by the Canada Foundation for Innovation , with another $10.1 million expected from institutional partners, private industry and vendor in-kind
