Van Sun says B.C. may get fuel cell research centre Ballard Power Systems Inc BLD Shares issued 23,083,665 Nov 19 close $47.50 Fri 20 Nov 98 In the News The Vancouver Sun reports in its Friday edition that British Columbia Technology Minister Andrew Petter says he is optimistic that the National Research Council will establish a national research centre for fuel cell technology in B.C. Reporter William Boei says that an industry-government working group from B.C. was in Ottawa on Tuesday and Wednesday, lobbying federal Industry Minister John Manley, Finance Minister Paul Martin and the NRC to put the facility in B.C. Mr. Petter says the combination of a national research centre with Burnaby-based Ballard Power Systems, one of the world's leading fuel cell companies, will build B.C. into the world centre of fuel cell technology. The hope is that the province will attract fuel cell research companies, designers, marketers and suppliers, creating a cluster of economic activity focused on fuel cells. That would boost the province's ambition of building a significant high-tech industry.
