On September 20, the government, announced that Technology Partnerships Canada (TPC) program will be wound down.

Hydrogen Early Adopters (h2EA) Program
The h2EA program is being wound down, and therefore new project outlines are no longer being accepted. There will be no impact on contracted h2EA projects.

About h2EA

Canada's long-term objective to maintain its position as a world-leader in the evolution of a hydrogen economy is in its very early stage of being realized.

As one of the initial steps towards this objective, Technology Partnerships Canada, a Special Operating Agency of Industry Canada, is implementing and delivering the h2 Early Adopters (h2EA) program designed to demonstrate new hydrogen technology concepts. This new program, launched in October 2003, is separate and distinct from the Technology Partnerships Canada research and development program.

The h2EA program will lead efforts to demonstrate new concepts, such as "hydrogen highways" and "hydrogen villages".

• Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, found in water and all organic matter on earth.
• Hydrogen disperses into the air very quickly, making it less flammable than gasoline and less likely to ignite.
• Canadians are among the world leaders in the development of fuel cells and other hydrogen technologies.
