That's very interesting.
What is the process like to actually convert those types of equipment, and is there a big cost associated with that?

The refuelling stations are already hydrogen-ready, so there wouldn't be an incremental cost. It depends where it is on the system and what we're connecting to, so there's a wide variability.

Mr. Chair, quickly, on a point of order, this is just a friendly reminder to Mr. Hutchens about providing that cost differential between renewable natural gas and regular natural gas, as well as any other information he'd like to submit.
Thank you.

The Chair Liberal James Maloney
Thank you.
On that note, thank you very much, witnesses. We very much appreciated your time here and the very valuable information you passed along today—and some more information that may be submitting in the future, as Mr. Zimmer just reminded us.
Just as a reminder, committee members, on Monday we will continue our in camera session to finalize the previous report. Next Friday we will return to this study.
On the first point, if there are any further proposals that we're going to be talking about on Monday, it would be great if they could be passed along in advance.
On that note, the meeting is adjourned.
