Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell

Sector Profile 2012

ii

Since 2004, the Government of Canada, the Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association (CHFCA) and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) have collaborated to provide an extensive profile of the Canadian hydrogen and fuel cell sector. The 2012 Sector Profile follows a similar format to the previous eight editions and provides industry insight on Canada’s hydrogen and fuel cell sector for policy makers, investors and other stakeholders. The research adds value to business strategies, investment decisions, and the overall expertise across our country.

The Profile is published annually to monitor trends and recognize growth and achievements for this key influence of the Canadian economy. We would like to thank all the organizations that contributed to the development of the Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Sector Profile 2012.

The Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Sector Profile 2012 measures performance indicators and provides industry insight to assess Canada’s position within an increasingly competitive global industry. Interest in clean energy research and technologies continues to gain momentum worldwide driven by concerns over the environment, economic development, and energy pricing. Hydrogen and fuel cells have become an increasingly viable commercial resource, and the Canadian sector is well positioned as an established leader in this field. By supporting hydrogen and fuel cell technology to help address climate change and sustainable energy issues, the Government of Canada, CHFCA and PwC create the opportunity to provide products and solutions for greenhouse gas emissions, air quality, energy security and economic development.

Survey respondents indicatedtherewere582researchpartnershipsin2011.Because survey respondents may report partnerships that they have with each other, there is a possibility that the number of research partnerships are overstated. However, research partnerships as a percentage of the total should be representative of actual partnerships. Partnerships with academic/non-profit/associationsrepresent42%oftotalresearch partnerships. Partnerships with industry in Canada represented37%ofallresearchpartnerships.Thenumberofresearch partnerships signifies the necessity of pre-commercial collaboration in order to address common technical challenges. The table below illustrates the many varied types of partnerships and collaborations in the hydrogen and fuel cell sector within Canada and outside the country.

In the 2010 study, the organization profile questions were restructured to better align with the Worldwide Fuel Cell Survey and additional data was requested on funding requirements, revenuepriorities/challengesandplanned changes in employment.

All monetary results are presented in Canadian dollars.

A total of 127 organizations associated with hydrogen and fuel cells in Canada were invited to participate in the development of this sector profile. Thisisa30%increaseinthenumberof invitations sent out for the 2010 Sector Profile. Seventy-three completed responses were received, representing an overallresponserateof57%.

Not all respondents provided information for every category requested. No investigation was conducted as to the completeness of the data provided by respondents or reasons for non-provision.

In order to capture more information, the 2012 Sector Profile is also supplemented by publicly available information.

A participant list is included at the end of the report.

PResentatiOn Of data

Figures presented for 2011 were collected by an online questionnaire in 2012. Figures presented for years prior to 2011 are as reported in previous sector profiles, therefore, may not be fully comparable due to differing respondents and/orbasisofindividualresponses.

The 2012 Sector Profile is the ninth annual publication of information on the Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Industry. As in previous years, existing and potential members of Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association, academic institutions, government stakeholders and partners in current hydrogen and fuel cell demonstration activities were asked to voluntarily complete a survey questionnaire.

While the survey questionnaire has remained substantially consistent from the survey’s inception, each year the organizers have refined the questions to gather more detailed information to better reflect the industry and its trends. Since the 2004 survey, sections relating to research, development and demonstration(RD&D)andfunding,specific questions were asked for three types of stakeholders:

• Corporate(publicandprivateorganizations);

• Government(governmentandgovernment agencies); and

• Academicandnon-profit(educationalorganizations, non-profit, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

13

The Canadian hydrogen and fuel cell sector is recognized for its role in the development of clean technology applications.In2011,approximately51%of respondents reported involvement in hydrogen and fuel cell activities for over 10 years suggesting a relatively stable industry. From this base, the industry continuestodrawRD&Dinvestmentand talent. As reported by survey participants, more Canadian graduate and post-graduate students conducted research related to hydrogen and fuel cells suggesting the sector is attracting new and younger players. The industry also continues to be innovative with an11%increaseinthetotalnumberof

approvedandpendingpatentsfrom527in2009to586in2011.

In 2011, the Canadian hydrogen and fuel cell sector reported:

• employmentat2,025;

• revenueof$211million,withBritishColumbia representing the largest revenue region in Canada;

• continuedcommitmenttoRD&Dwith$136.6millionofexpenditures;

• astablenumberofdemonstrationprojects(123)comparedto128in2010 and an increase compared to 86 in 2009;

• aconsiderableincreasebothinthenumber of strategic alliances 142 and researchpartnerships582comparedtoprior years; and

• hydrogenandfuelcellrelatedfacilitiesandactivity,RD&Dexpenditureandemployment were largely concentrated in British Columbia.

gROw tH sinCe 2001

Aninitialsectorprofile,TheEconomicImpact of Industrial Hydrogen Activity in Canada, conducted by Sypher MuellerandNaturalResourcesCanadain 2001, provided the first glimpse into the sector’s early days. Subsequent Government of Canada, Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association and PricewaterhouseCoopers Sector Profiles have updated the original industry benchmark study to demonstrate an active hydrogen and fuel cell sector within Canada. Although some data may not be fully comparable due to differing methodology and response rate, we can see significant growth in the industry between 2001 to 2011:

• Revenuehasgrown118%from$97 millionin2001to$211millionin 2011

• R&Dexpenditureshavedecreasedby24%from$179millionin2001to $136 millionin2011.

• Employmentintheindustryhasincreasedby14%from1,772in2001to2,025in2011.

C anadian HydROgen and fuel Cell assOCiatiOn (CHfC a)

The Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association (CHFCA) is the national association accelerating Canada’s world-recognized hydrogen and fuel cell sector. As the sector’s collective voice, the CHFCA works to raise awareness of the economic, environmental and social benefits of hydrogen and fuel cells. We are a national, non-profit association providing services and support to Canadian corporations, governments and educational institutions promoting development, demonstrating and deploying hydrogen and fuel cell products and services in Canada.
