L2M – Hydrogen Conversion Kits for Heavy-Duty Trucks

Alongside participation in the Lab2Market Validate program, where the intern will test commercial viability of their idea by speaking to potential customers, this Mitacs project consists of a market analysis that identifies ideal vending countries, investigates safety regulations, and estimates market size for the intern’s idea of a hydrogen conversion kit for heavy-duty trucks. The conversion kit would modify internal combustion engines from diesel to hydrogen, thereby eliminating greenhouse gas emissions and reducing fuel costs, as hydrogen derived from waste sources is cheaper than diesel fuel.
