We see an Indigenous and community-owned green hydrogen economy for the future of fuel in British Columbia. We are a values-driven company, and our mission is to transform how fuel is produced by developing Indigenous-owned green hydrogen production and fueling centers. We center the values of Truth, Family, Health, and Culture in each project.
We believe First Nations and Indigenous communities should lead the opportunity in a shift to green energy. We are deeply committed to developing business opportunities based on mutual respect, cooperation, and mutual benefit for lands, waters, and people.
Inspired by nature’s own regenerative logic, Salish Elements process is grounded in the creation of symbiotic relationships across all levels of the system from soil microorganisms to technological infrastructure.
For green hydrogen, we take this innovative fuel one step further through our regenerative development process and plant design, designed in collaboration with Mindful Architecture™, to produce our rH2.
rH2 is produced and liquified via surplus hydroelectric power and water
Artistic, breathable, and affordable canopy covers utility, creating more visually pleasing aesthetic
Utility design culturally relevant through pithouse inspired structure
Community gathering space for members to learn, teach, and share traditional practices
Surplus heat is repurposed in greenhouses for food and plants that support a healthy local ecosystem
Community selected and ecologically relevant plant life surrounds the biocultural energy utility
Indigenous peoples in Canada and the United States participate in far-reaching trading relationships far beyond borders – as they have for millennia. Salish Elements sees nation-to-nation use of regenerative hydrogen fuel as a key component to fulfill the company’s vision of an equitable, clean economy.
Our regenerative hydrogen trade network will service the transportation sector via Interstate 5 — one of the highest polluting corridors on the west coast — as well as cities and communities along the network reliant on nonrenewable energy.
