North Vancouver B.C. Carwash to be Powered by a Hydrogen Fuel Cell
Friday, October 14, 2005
"The Honourable David L. Emerson, Minister of Industry, Honourable Don Bell, Member of Parliament for North Vancouver and Vicky J. Sharpe of Sustainable Development Technology Canada, today announced a $12.2 million contribution to support the demonstration of the Integrated Waste Hydrogen Utilization Project (IWHUP) in the Vancouver area. IWHUP will demonstrate innovative clean energy solutions that make use of an existing but currently untapped source of hydrogen fuel – hydrogen emitted as the by-product of a sodium chlorate manufacturing plant in the North Vancouver area. When utilized in fuel cells and related technologies, hydrogen offers the potential to significantly reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants in Canada and around the world. By making use of this fuel source right here in North Vancouver, this project will demonstrate the viability of using hydrogen captured as a by-product in real-life applications, opening the door to future opportunities across Canada."
