Yes

Specific Topics of Lobbying Communications	Intended Outcomes	Associated Subject Matters
Facilitate a neutral feasibility assessment of H2 heavy duty vehicle performance throughout public fleets across British Columbia to support its private H2 ecosystem (fuellers/generators, suppliers, integrators and parts manufacturers). a) Recognizing investments already made in the battery-driven electrification of transit across B.C. and Canada, B.C. is ideally situated to support the additional electrification of systems via hydrogen fuel cell technologies and green or low-carbon hydrogen production. To support the national launch of H2 projects to reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs), we encourage the B.C. government to consider funding (through its existing funds) a CUTRIC-led data-based simulation and feasibility analysis of the performance of H2 heavy-duty vehicles and fuelling systems across mountainous terrain as operated across four seasons of temperature gradient. This type of neutral consortium study led by CUTRIC's B.C. office would demonstrate the benefits, costs, opportunities and risks associated with the adoption, performance and maintenance of H2 heavy-duty vehicles applied to public fleets such as transit, delivery vehicles, garbage trucks and other city or regional vehicular fleets. b) CUTRIC proposes to complete this study using a combination of its Members' contributions through crowd-sourced support (i.e., from BC Hydro, Fortis BC, Ballard), along with federal MITACS research funded graduate students (located at the University of Victoria, University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University) and with additional relevant funds from the province (likely from its existing clean funds for innovation) within the next six-month period to complete a full and complete H2 electric performance analysis for heavy-duty vehicles in B.C.

Support the ongoing development of a robust low-carbon smart mobility innovation ecosystem in B.C. through the support of industry-academic collaborative innovation projects focusing on battery electric mobility, fuel cell electric mobility, smart autonomous and connected vehicle mobility, and data-driven mobility solutions. a) CUTRIC's Best Practices in Low-Carbon Smart Mobility indicate a cost-sharing ratio of 33:33:33, which works well with projects ranging in technology readiness from a scale of three to six (i.e., ?TRL 3-6). This would require a 33 per cent contribution by the B.C. government toward the C$9 million in project proposals, a C$3 million fund over a four-year period. Funding Model (2020-2023) C$3 million industry contributions C$3 million provincial contributions C$3 million federal (or municipal transit) contributions (MITACs, NSERC/SSHRC, NRCan EVID Programming, etc.) b) Based on its existing industry-academic R&D funding framework and set of protocols and practices, CUTRIC could launch this program immediately in B.C. There is no ramp-up time required as CUTRIC has built the funding program, project review, project approvals, accounting and auditing practices over the past three years starting in 2016. Those practices are fully operational and already support projects in Alberta, Ontario and Quebec.
