City of Timmins equips vehicles with carbon reduction technology

The City said it recognises the “immediate imperative” of utilising commercially available technologies to reduce its carbon footprint and welcomes the company’s patented Hydragen technology, which was granted the Smart Sustainable Company Rating in furtherance of the United for Smart Sustainable Cities Programme (U4SSC) of the United Nations.

“The opportunity to collaborate with DynaCert allows us to gather real time data on how our diesel vehicles will perform in colder temperatures with the applied technology”

Because of the requirement to function in Canada’s severe Northern climate on a year-round basis, DynaCert  and the City of Timmins have agreed that, for such purposes, the pilot programme will run well into the Canadian winter months to ensure compliance with the City’s short term and long term GHG objectives.

“The City of Timmins strives to be a leader of sustainability in north-eastern Ontario. As a member of the Partners for Climate Protection programme, the City of Timmins has developed a greenhouse gas reduction plan to reduce GHG emissions and this project will help reach our reduction goals,” said Scott Tam, manager of environmental services for the City of Timmins.

The City of Timmins is centrally located in Northeastern Ontario and serves as a regional hub for approximately 117,000 people. Timmins is home to a diverse population of about 41,000 residents within an area that is considered one of the richest gold-mining districts in the world. Timmins reports it is ideally situated for the exploration and production of critical minerals, which are integral to the electric vehicle supply chain, green manufacturing, and decarbonisation.
