The $ 11 million pilot project is also supported by a grant from the State Government's Clean BC Industrial Fund. The

project will be located at Suncor's Burrard terminal site to generate hydrogen from natural gas.

The carbon by-products produced are stored as solid synthetic graphite that can be manufactured or sold for industrial use.

According to FortisBC, when the pilot project goes into full commercial phase, it produces up to 2,500 tonnes of hydrogen annually. It is said that this amount of hydrogen could replace the equivalent annual natural gas usage of about 3,300 BC. Household.

The project is currently in the engineering and design stages. According to FortisBC, test prototypes will be built in the field by the end of 2023.
