Welcome

Welcome to the National Research Council of Canada's Institute for Fuel Cell Innovation (NRC-IFCI).

NRC-IFCI is Canada's premier applied research organization dedicated to supporting Canada's fuel cell and hydrogen industry. NRC-IFCI works independently and in partnership with companies, research organizations, universities, and government agencies on projects focused on the research, development, demonstration and testing of hydrogen and fuel cell systems.

This mandate delivers on the Government of Canada's climate change and innovation priorities and responds to Canada's Fuel Cell Commercialization Roadmap, which identified critical areas of research necessary for Canadian industry to overcome cost, performance and reliability challenges of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies.

Our culture and business practices are collaborative. We work closely with industry, academia and other government agencies, both domestic and international, on projects focused on the research, development, demonstration, and testing of hydrogen and fuel cell systems.
