New study analyzes the current state of hydrogen regulation in British Columbia  

Vancouver, BC – June 13, 2023 – The BC Hydrogen Office of the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation (the Ministry) and the BC Centre for Innovation and Clean Energy (CICE) have released the B.C. Hydrogen Regulatory Mapping Study. This study identifies the current gaps, opportunities, and barriers to establishing an efficient and effective regulatory framework for advancing clean hydrogen projects in British Columbia.  

The B.C. Hydrogen Regulatory Mapping Study was produced by Stantec Consulting Ltd. on behalf of the Province and CICE. The study aims to analyze the current regulatory framework for hydrogen production projects in British Columbia and offers recommendations to clarify the regulatory process. To illustrate how different regulatory approvals may apply, the study examines six representative low-carbon hydrogen projects with different production pathways. Additionally, the study identifies the key stakeholders who may be involved in the regulation of hydrogen in B.C.
