    Cleantech Forward: Accelerating Hydrogen Adoption
    Jul 10 2025
    What if the only thing coming out of your exhaust pipe was a few drops of water? That’s the vision behind hydrogen fuel––and its biggest champions are already making it reality in BC. Hydrogen is a promising alternative fuel, but public skepticism and safety concerns are slowing down adoption. Are these concerns warranted, or is misinformation getting in the way of progress? On this episode of Cleantech Forward, host Jeanette Jackson explores how hydrogen fits into BC’s clean energy future––what’s working now, what’s holding us back, and what it will take to get more hydrogen vehicles on the road. Foresight’s, Alyssa Kelly, joins us to talk about how hydrogen is being tried and tested in the cleantech ecosystem, and Norm Barmeier from HTEC shares his passion for hydrogen’s potential and how his company is leading efforts to scale hydrogen fuel infrastructure and technology across BC, and the rest of Canada.Relevant ReportsHydrogen Transportation and Infrastructure Report Further ReadingEnvisioning a Hydrogen Hub in Northeast BCEnvisioning a Hydrogen Hub in the Lower MainlandMetro Vancouver Hydrogen Ecosystem ReportAbout the GuestsNorm BarmeierNorm Barmeier has 25 years of diverse industrial experience in pharmaceutical, biofuels, and municipal infrastructure.

  • Cleantech Forward: An Electric Future for Mining and Logging

    Cleantech Forward: An Electric Future for Mining and Logging
    Jun 26 2025
    British Columbia’s mining and forestry sectors supply the raw materials needed to support a net zero economy. But when it comes to powering the fleets that carry these resources from pit to port or forest to mill, diesel still dominates––and electrifying them is anything but simple. In this episode of Cleantech Forward, host Jeanette Jackson talks to the people doing the heavy lifting when it comes to decarbonizing transportation in BC’s foundational industries. Flyn McCarthy, mining industry advisor to Foresight’s BC Net Zero Innovation Network, shares how he’s helping mining companies go back to the industry’s electric roots. And Eric Little shares the inspiring story of how Edison Motors is reviving BC’s reputation for building cool trucks… but this time, they’re electric.
