Turquoise hydrogen project progresses in Canada
Feed studies and permitting applications underway for development at Suncor’s Burrard Terminal site
A pilot project in Canada will use methane pyrolysis technology to generate hydrogen, turning CO₂ generated from the process into synthetic graphite that can be sold on the open market for manufacturing or industrial uses. The project is being funded directly by the partner companies—oil and gas firms FortisBC Energy and Suncor Energy, and technology firm Hazer Group—and by the government of British Columbia’s CleanBC Industry Fund. The first phase of the project, located at Suncor’s Burrard Terminal site, is now underway including Feed studies and permitting applications. A prototype version of the Hazer hydrogen reactor is expected to be constructed onsite at the Burrard location for testi
