In Canada, the University of British Columbia (UBCO) announced the launch of its new hydrogen research laboratory (H2LAB).
The facility was launched in partnership with FortisBC. The facility will support work around hydrogen blending, storage and real-world applications.
UBCO’s Vice-Principal of Research and Innovation, Suzie Currie, said the lab is a key step in fulfilling the university’s commitment to sustainable energy innovation and fostering industry-academic collaboration.
“This facility is not just a research space—it’s a hub where academia and industry can work together to advance the real-world application of hydrogen technologies. With FortisBC’s generous support, we can help move this critical research forward and drive low-carbon energy solutions for the province and beyond.”
The 2,000-square-foot H2LAB, located in UBCO’s Innovation Precinct, will explore how hydrogen can be safely blended into natural gas supply systems and utilized across multiple industries, including aerospace, automotive and marine transport.
