Renewable Hydrogen Canada Corporation (RH2C), through its subsidiary Canadian Methanol Corporation (CMC), is planning to produce green methanol (e-methanol) and low-carbon blue methanol at a plant near the town of Tumbler Ridge in northeastern British Columbia (BC). Both products will be transported by rail to a new bulk liquids storage facility on the coast near Prince Rupert in northwestern BC, the closest port in North America to Asia.

Demand for green and blue methanol as a marine fuel is on the rise and is thus a key driver of the project. Much groundbreaking engineering work has been completed. This is to be followed by a pre-feed study by Stantec Inc.

​On March 14, 2023, the Government of British Columbia released its new energy action framework to cap emissions and electrify the clean economy of BC, promising to “establish a clean-energy and major projects office to fast track investment in clean energy and technology and create good, sustainable jobs in the transition to a cleaner economy.” This initiative will help expedite Canadian Methanol’s Tumbler Ridge project.
