 As Minister of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation, I am tasked with advancing economic opportunities that can reduce emissions and create new jobs for British Columbians. As we face the global challenge of transitioning away from fossil fuels, renewable hydrogen will be a critical part of our achieving clean energy and climate goals. Hydrogen can be used in fuel cells to reduce emissions from transportation or injected into the natural gas grid to displace fossil fuels to heat our homes and businesses. Can also act as a heat source for industry and be used in the production of low carbon synthetic fuels. As part of our clean BC plan, the BC Hydrogen Strategy outlines 63 actions for government, industry and innovators, to take aimed at accelerating the production, use and export of renewable and low carbon hydrogen. Following the release of the Federal Hydrogen Strategy last December, British Columbia is now the first province in Canada to develop and announce a comprehensive hydrogen strategy. With our clean energy advantage, abundant natural resources and innovative companies, we are well positioned to attract investment in the growing hydrogen economy and create new opportunities for British Columbians. We're also putting us on the path to net zero emissions by 2050. Budget 2021 committed over $10 million over three years to support the implementation of the strategy and developing BC's hydrogen economy. BC Hydro also recently introduced a discounted electricity rate for renewable hydrogen to help attract new clean energies and kickstart local production. The strategy will also focus on establishing regional hydrogen hubs across the province where production and use are co-located and accelerating the deployment of medium and heavy-duty hydrogen fuel cell vehicles to tackle emissions from the transportation sector. By prioritizing hydrogen development today, our government is investing in British Columbia's prosperous, sustainable tomorrow. As we look forward with optimism to our post-pandemic economic recovery, we must seize the opportunities provided by clean technology and innovation. I'd like now to turn it over to Raymond Lings, President and CEO of PowerTech Labs to say a few words. PowerTech Labs is a subsidiary of BC Hydro. Many people may not know that the Surrey-based PowerTech is a world-renowned organization that works with global companies to bring new hydrogen technologies to market.
