University of British Columbia Okanagan

A state-of-the-art hydrogen research laboratory at UBCO focused on exploring hydrogen blending into natural gas systems, hydrogen permeability and fatigue crack growth testing, hybrid transport applications, and safety codes and standards development.

Research project investigating the feasibility and safety of blending hydrogen into natural gas systems for residential and commercial energy consumption. Involves complex tests to measure how safely and efficiently hydrogen can coexist within existing infrastructure.

Research project led by Dr. Sunny Li investigating the retrofitting of traditional locomotives into zero-emission vehicles using hydrogen fuel cell and battery technology for hybrid transport applications.

Testing to evaluate how materials respond to repeated stress cycles in the presence of hydrogen, ensuring infrastructure can withstand prolonged hydrogen exposure without failing.

Laboratory testing to measure how hydrogen gas diffuses through materials used in pipelines and infrastructure. This ensures materials can safely contain and transport hydrogen without degradation.

Injecting hydrogen into existing natural gas networks, allowing for a gradual transition to cleaner energy sources without immediate infrastructure overhauls.
