Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association
The Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association (CHFCA) is proud to host Hydrogen + Fuel Cells 2011. The CHFCA is the national association for Canada’s world recognized hydrogen and fuel cell sector.
As the sector’s collective voice, the CHFCA works to raise awareness of the economic, environmental and social benefits of hydrogen and fuel cells. It is a national, non-profit association providing services and support to Canadian corporations, governments and educational institutions promoting, developing, demonstrating and deploying hydrogen and fuel cell products and services in Canada. Our members cover most types of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, components, systems supply and integration, fuelling systems, fuel storage, and engineering and financial services.
The CHFCA was formed in January of 2009 as a result of a merger between the Canadian Hydrogen Association (CHA) and Hydrogen & Fuel Cells Canada (H2FCC). The merger unites the members of the former associations to create a vibrant, influential association that represents the majority of the stakeholders in Canada’s hydrogen and fuel cell sector.
Natural Resources Canada
Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) provides knowledge, expertise, and program activities for the sustainable development and use of Canada’s natural resources and to support the global competitiveness of its resource and related sectors. This includes energy activities that encompasses policy development, market development programs, and international activities in energy efficiency, renewables, transportation technologies, alternative fuels, and conventional fuels.
NRCan’s Hydrogen, Fuel Cells and Transportation Energy program (HyFATE) supports efforts by Canadian industry to develop and deploy technologies and fuels that provide a cleaner, more sustainable energy mix for our roadways. HyFATE has been a long time technical and financial supporter of activities that support hydrogen production and storage systems, fuel cells, alternative fuels and advanced propulsion systems; emissions control technologies; energy efficient systems; and fuelling infrastructure technologies.
