Toronto's Pearson International Airport will be home to Ontario's first public hydrogen refuelling station.
The Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) and Carlsun Energy announced in a news release Thursday that the refuelling station will have capability for both cars and transport trucks.
Carlsun will build, own and operate the station, which the two groups said is enabled by a $1 million investment from Natural Resources Canada.
The GTAA said this station is part of Pearson airport's commitment to clean and efficient energy solutions.
There are currently five retail hydrogen stations across the country, four of which are in British Columbia, and the fifth in Quebec, according to Natural Resources Canada.

Transport Minister Omar Alghabra said the new station will help ensure supply chains continue to grow amid the fight against climate change.
