CHILLIWACK — TYCROP Manufacturing, a North American company that creates industrial equipment solutions, has made investments in electrification since 2019, and further combined this capability with hydrogen related technologies over the last 24 months.
Headquartered in Chilliwack, BC, TYCROP operates in four locations supported by a growing workforce of 700 professionals in Canada and the United States. Over the years, the company has manufactured heavy equipment across various industries, including transportation, renewable energy, oil and gas, agriculture, waste and recycling, forestry, heavy marine, mining, and construction.
Port activities and mobile power generation are industries with substantial environmental impact due to their high energy requirements and proximity to populated areas. The demand for zero-emission power generation in these sectors prompted exploration of alternative solutions. Hydrogen, with its energy density and zero-emission power generation capabilities through fuel cells, emerged as the ideal choice for these challenging applications.
To shed light on the regulatory challenges local manufacturers face in bringing zero-emission technologies to market, TYCROP’s Hydrogen Power Specialist, Vincent Royer, will be sharing insights at the upcoming Hy-Fcell Canada Conference. The conference, scheduled to take place at the Vancouver Convention Center on June 6-7, will have Royer and David Coburn, the Director of the BC Hydrogen Office, Ministry of Energy, Mines, and Low Carbon Innovation discussing the pivotal role played by the BC Government in facilitating the growth of this emerging industry and overcoming regulatory obstacles.
By collaborating with critical stakeholders in industry and government to prioritize sustainable clean energy technologies, the company aims to set new benchmarks for emissions reduction, delivering a lasting positive impact on the environment and communities served.
