HTEC opens sixth hydrogen refuelling station in Canada

This station joins HTEC’s five existing stations in the Lower Mainland, Kelowna, and Vancouver Island, Canada, marking another important milestone in making hydrogen a viable alternative fuel for customers seeking low-carbon transportation options.

The development of this station was partially financed by the Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB) through its Charging and Hydrogen Refueling Infrastructure (CHRI) initiative, announced in 2024, which supports private-sector deployment of large scale clean transportation infrastructure. This investment also contributes to HTEC’s broader H2 Gateway Program rollout, including hydrogen production and liquefaction facilities, additional refuelling stations, and zero emission fuel cell electric trucks.

Additional support was provided by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) through the Electric Vehicle and Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Deployment Initiative, and by the Canadian Hydrogen Association (CHA) through the CleanBC Go Electric Hydrogen Fueling Infrastructure Program – a collaborative effort between BC Ministry of Energy and Climate and CHA to expand hydrogen refuelling infrastructure in the province.

To date, HTEC’s hydrogen station network has dispensed about 102 500 kg of hydrogen and supports up to 300 hydrogen electric vehicles in British Columbia, Canada, helping pave the way for a cleaner, low-carbon transportation future.

“We are excited to see this new station come online ¬– it is another step forward in building a hydrogen ecosystem to decarbonise the transportation sector that the HTEC team has been working toward for years,” said Colin Armstrong, President and CEO of HTEC.

“7-Eleven Canada achieves another milestone with the opening of its fourth hydrogen refuelling station in partnership with HTEC,” added Marc Goodman, Vice President and General Manager of 7-Eleven Canada. “Our expanding refuelling network is making alternative energy options more accessible to our customers. Canadians can be proud of their home-grown hydrogen energy industry, from the local fuel cell technology, to the locally sourced hydrogen, to the local value-added partnership between HTEC and 7-Eleven Canada.”

“Hydrogen fuelling stations will support the market adoption of hydrogen vehicles and help support provincial decarbonisation objectives. HTEC has been a proven provider of this technological know-how and infrastructure, demonstrating that skillsets are available right here in British Columbia’s burgeoning hydrogen sector,” commented Todd Romaine, Executive Director of CHA, British Columbia, Canada.
