The Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Sector: Overview
Activities began in 1982 with first contract for Ballard Power
Systems
Total Canadian industry revenue has grown 40% from $134
million in 2002 to $188 million in 2003
Industry R&D expenditures over $290 million – since 2000 an
average of $100,000 per employee per year
Over 80 companies across Canada are focused on fuel cell and
hydrogen technology and associated services, employing over
2,600 people
Patent holdings were up 34% to 581 in 2003.

International Involvement – Industry
About 33% of Canadian industry activity is outside of North America Active in 262 demonstration projects (2003); 70% outside of Canada Industry Associations: California Fuel Cell Partnership, US Fuel Cell
Council Networking with industry groups and participation in trade missions Corporate partnerships and joint development examples:
– Ballard with Ford/Daimler Chrysler– General Hydrogen with General Motors– Hydrogenics with GM, John Deere, American Power Conversion, US
Army

Technology Development: On Track for Commercialization
Companies are meeting technology development timelines:
Ballard Power Systems has reduced costs of fuel cells by 80% since 1999, while achieving a ten-fold increase in lifetime
Fuel Cell Technologies has accumulated over 1500 hours of operation on its second generation 5 kW system
Hydrogenics HyPM 10 kW power module has achieved over 5000 hours of operation & over 6500 “stop-start” cycles on a single unit
Dynetek Industries has 10,000 psi (750 bar) hydrogen tanks on the market
BC Hydro/Powertech is a 10,000 psi operational fueling station
US companies attaining commercial sales contracts

Hydrogen Village
The Hydrogen Village is located in the Greater Toronto Area in the Province of
Ontario.
The intent of the H2V is to:
Create a plan and platform for the deployment of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies to the benefit of the local community.
Develop the necessary supply, service, and knowledge infrastructure needed to create a sustainable market.
Ensure technology deployments (stationary, mobile and transportation) fit within the context of existing community infrastructure and activity.
Aid in the complementary growth of other centers across Southern Ontario – thereby developing a hydrogen Corridor.

The Path Forward – Partnership Opportunities
Demonstration Projects
– Hydrogen Highway – conceptually, a Hydrogen Highway from Baja, California to British Columbia, Canada (“BC to BC”)
– Funding programs that encourage North America wide participation
– Sharing lessons from past Olympic Games and preparing to showcase NA capabilities/expertise in the 2010 Olympic Games
Joint Development
– Providing enhanced access to R&D programs in all jurisdictions – at the institutional/corporate level
– Joint education and outreach programs – Identify and set objectives to support core competencies in each
country to ensure complimentarity rather than duplication Government Support
– State/Provincial governments encouraging transborder activities– Involvement of US, Canada and potentially Mexico in IPHE activity
