Mission Statement
Renewable Hydrogen Canada Corporation (RH2C) deploys British Columbia’s abundant, low-carbon intensity electrical energy from hydro and wind power, and plentiful, forest-derived biogenic CO2 where required, to produce renewable hydrogen, renewable methanol (e-methanol) and low-carbon bridge methanol on a globally significant scale. We are positioning Canada to be an international leader in these fuels. Goals 1. Enable the use of BC’s abundant natural resources in a sustainable way to produce renewable and low-carbon fuels on a globally significant scale 2. Create new jobs and significant investment in BC in supporting the energy transition 3. Develop mutually beneficial partnerships with First Nations RH2C is developing three clean fuels projects in Canada, highlighted below. The Canadian Methanol project is our current focus. The Canadian Methanol project will produce, on a world scale, both renewable methanol (e-methanol) and low-carbon bridge methanol in Tumbler Ridge in northeastern BC. The Tumbler Ridge site features an enviable constellation of infrastructure, including rail transportation to a major northwest BC port, renewable energy (wind and hydro) and natural gas. Considerable groundbreaking engineering work has been completed and a pre-feed study is underway (winter/spring 2023). Demand for renewable methanol and low-carbon bridge methanol as a marine fuel is burgeoning and is a key driver of the project.
The goal of the Sundance Hydrogen project, situated in northeastern BC, is to reduce the carbon intensity of the natural gas British Columbians consume by producing RH2 and injecting it into the province's natural gas transmission system. The project is ready to go pending approval by regulatory authorities. Work is underway at national and subnational levels around the world to determine safe hydrogen injection concentrations for natural gas transmission and distribution networks.
RH2C's Pacific Hydrogen Canada project is located at an ocean port on BC's south coast and it will produce renewable methanol from renewable hydrogen and forest-derived biogenic CO2. The renewable methanol will be supplied to markets by ship.
RH2M will produce renewable methanol in northern Manitoba from renewable hydrogen and forest-derived biogenic CO2. The renewable methanol will be delivered to markets by rail.
