The National Research Council of Canada's Institute for Fuel Cell Innovation (NRC-IFCI) is Canada's premier applied research organization dedicated to supporting Canada's fuel cell and hydrogen industry.

 

The NRC-IFCI invests $12 million/a in advancing fuel cell technologies in support of Canada’s clean and sustainable energy priorities. As a BC and Canadian industry catalyst, NRC-IFCI addresses technology development, commercialization and sustainable energy priorities with its world-class research, demonstration and commercialization programs.

 

The tour of NRC-IFCI will highlight:

 

- LEED Gold certified state-of-the-art green building design;
- The H2FC Gateway, a technology demonstration and exhibit centre showcasing Canada's world-leading hydrogen and fuel cell industry;
- The Pacific Spirit Fuelling Station and the Vancouver Fuel Cell Vehicle Program, part of BC’s Hydrogen Highway™;
- The Solar H2 project, which includes a photovoltaic (PV) array capable of 7 kW peak power production and a PEM Electrolyser that can produce 2 kg of H2 per day, and an SOFC generator that provides electricity and heat for NRC-IFCI.
- The Advanced Testing and Validation Centre (ATVC), which features Fuel Cell Testing Stations a Vibration Table, and the unique Hydrogen Environmental Chamber;
- Industrial Partnership Facility (IPF) tennant offices and labs.
