2 Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Sector Profile 2015 For more than a decade, the Government of Canada and the Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association (CHFCA) have collaborated to develop an industry profile of the Canadian hydrogen and fuel cell sector. The profile is published annually in order to: Capture trends, growth and achievements for the Canadian sector. Offer insights into the current state of the sector. Provide valuable information for policy makers, investors and other stakeholders. The 2015 profile was commissioned by Innovation, Science & Economic Development Canada (ISED) and the CHFCA and conducted by MNP LLP. The information presented in the profile was collected through a survey of Canadian companies, educational institutes and government agencies that were directly involved in hydrogen and fuel cell-related activities in 2014. All monetary results are presented in Canadian dollars. Our thanks to all the organisations that contributed to the development of the Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Sector Profile 2015.

20 Methodology The 2015 Sector Profile is the twelfth annual publication of information on the Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Industry. As in previous years, existing and potential members of Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association, educational institutes, government stakeholders and partners in current hydrogen and fuel cell demonstration activities were asked to voluntarily complete a survey questionnaire. While the survey questionnaire has remained substantially consistent from the survey s inception, organizers have refined the questions to gather more detailed information to better reflect the sector and its trends. Since the 2004 survey, specific questions have been asked from three types of stakeholders: Corporate (public and private organisations); Government (government and government agencies); and Educational institutes and non-profit (educational, non-profit, and non-governmental organisations (NGOs)). All monetary results are presented in Canadian dollars. A total of 114 organisations associated with hydrogen and fuel cells in Canada were invited to participate in the development of this Sector Profile. In total 60 completed responses were received, representing an overall response rate of 52%. Not all respondents provided information for every category requested. Some investigation was conducted as to the completeness of the data provided by respondents or reasons for non-provision, but in some cases clarification was not received. R&D expenditures provided by respondents were supplemented with awards for hydrogen and fuel-cell related R&D projects by Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). Note that industrial hydrogen production represents a large segment of the sector, but participation in the survey is likely low due to concerns about inferring financial information from the survey data. 2015 Profile Participation Rate Completed 52% Declined/No Response 48% A list of survey respondents is included at the end of the report. Note: some respondents did not consent to have their organisation's name publish in the sector profile. Figures presented for 2014 were collected by an online questionnaire in early 2016. Figures presented for 2013 are as reported in the 2014 Sector Profile and, therefore, may not be fully comparable due to differing respondents and/or participation rate.
