British Columbia Premier David Eby has proposed a clean hydrogen project in Prince George, BC, that could reduce C02 emissions by 700,000 tons. Hydrogen has been an area of focus for the province for two decades, and was the center of a 2021 clean development strategy.
As UVic’s Dr. Christina Hoicka explains, hydrogen can produce heat at levels comparable to that of fossil fuels, making it an attractive option for companies looking to reduce their carbon levels.
Dr. Hoicka is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering. One of her research areas is renewable energy transformations, making her an important voice in the conversation about BC’s hydrogen project plans.
