That’s the vision behind hydrogen fuel––and its biggest champions are already making it reality in BC. Hydrogen is a promising alternative fuel, but public skepticism and safety concerns are slowing down adoption. Are these concerns warranted, or is misinformation getting in the way of progress? On this episode of Cleantech Forward, host Jeanette Jackson  explores how hydrogen fits into BC’s clean energy future––what’s working now, what’s holding us back, and what it will take to get more hydrogen vehicles on the road. Foresight’s, Alyssa Kelly, joins us to talk about how hydrogen is being tried and tested in the cleantech ecosystem, and Norm Barmeier from HTEC shares his passion for hydrogen’s potential and how his company is leading efforts to scale hydrogen fuel infrastructure and technology across BC, and the rest of Canada.Relevant ReportsHydrogen Transportation and Infrastructure Report Further ReadingEnvisioning a Hydrogen Hub in Northeast BCEnvisioning a Hydrogen Hub in the Lower MainlandMetro Vancouver Hydrogen Ecosystem ReportAbout the GuestsNorm BarmeierNorm Barmeier has 25 years of diverse industrial experience in pharmaceutical, biofuels, and municipal infrastructure.
