Four British Columbia-based companies have been selected to participate in a new Innovation Challenge aimed at reducing diesel reliance across remote Canadian Coast Guard operations.
Delivered through Innovate BC’s Integrated Marketplace and enabled by the BC Marine Energy and Decarbonization Hub—a joint initiative of COAST and the University of Victoria—the Challenge is focused on advancing clean energy solutions for hard-to-access coastal sites.
The initiative targets technologies that can displace diesel generation using renewable energy sources, including marine-based power, alongside advanced storage and energy management systems. Solutions must be modular, scalable, and rapidly deployable to meet the operational realities of remote coastal infrastructure.
