B.C.'s largest hydrogen plant coming to North Van waterfront; The plant could power 30,000 hydrogen vehicles using fuel that today is just vented into the air as a waste product.

Since the 1950s, the site has been used to produce sodium chlorate, an industrial compound used in bleaching for the paper industry, but that process results in about 15 tonnes of byproduct hydrogen per day, most of which is vented and simply dissipates into the atmosphere. ERCO will leaseback a portion of the property and continue with their operations while HTEC will be installing equipment to capture and purify that otherwise lost energy and prepare it for distribution.
