At least seven “large-scale hydrogen projects” were cancelled or paused. …One of those plans — Fortescue’s Project Coyote — has since been made public, but six more projects that have been quietly put on ice, including a Prince George clean hydrogen project. Hydrogen’s potential as an environmentally-friendly alternative to fossil fuels has generated global excitement. It can be produced from domestic resources including natural gas, biomass, and wind or solar power… with zero to negligible amounts of greenhouse gases. Eby announced a project led by Chilliwack-based Teralta Hydrogen Solutions to power a Canfor mill with hydrogen produced as a byproduct from a nearby Chemtrade sodium chlorate production facility. But according to the FOI documents, that project has since been paused. …A Teralta spokesperson said that while the project itself was successful, the closure of the Canfor mill and Chemtrade’s decision to stop producing sodium chlorate in Prince George meant it was no longer viable.
