The proposed Burrard Hazer Hydrogen Project is a collaboration between FortisBC Energy, Suncor Energy, and Hazer Group Limited. An MoU was signed in February 2022.

The project is a demonstration of the Hazer Process, a methane pyrolysis technology producing low-carbon hydrogen for clean energy, transport, or industrial uses, and a synthetic graphitic carbon byproduct for manufacturing or industrial use.

The project is located at Suncor Energy’s Burrard Terminal site in Port Moody, British Columbia.

When established, the project is expected to process natural gas feedstock to produce 2,500 tpa low-carbon hydrogen and approximately 9,000 tonnes of synthetic graphitic carbon by-product.

A FID is targeted in the first half of 2024, with operations targeted to commence in 2025 or early 2026.

The project has received up to CAD $8m of grant funding from the province of British Columbia. It is considered a near-commercial scale plant.
