Charbone Hydrogen
Overview
Charbone Hydrogen (TSXV:CH,OTCQB:CHHYF,FWB:K47) is the only publicly listed green hydrogen firm in Canada looking to expand across North America (US and Canada) with a pipeline of new projects. This is an opportune time for Charbone as the world races to find effective solutions to meet its net-zero ambitions by 2050. Green hydrogen could be a perfect fit as a potentially low-emitting fuel source. There is an increasing realization of the potential of hydrogen in serving as a low-emissions substitute for fossil fuels in residential as well as industrial use cases.
The Government of Canada has laid out its hydrogen policy, aiming to meet nearly 30 percent of its energy requirement in 2050 by hydrogen, as well as become one of the top three clean hydrogen producers globally. The presence of abundant hydroelectric power, favorable government policies, and a progressive tax regime should boost hydrogen production in the country. The 2023 federal budget includes more than $17 billion in tax credits over the next five years to help fund clean energy projects, including hydrogen.
Source: IRENA - Geopolitics of energy transformation: the hydrogen factor
The US Department of Energy expects to produce 10 million metric tons (MMT) of hydrogen annually by 2030 and eventually reach 50 MMT by 2050. According to US Deputy Secretary of Energy David Turk, 50 MMT of hydrogen could power every bus, train, plane and ship in the US. This is the scale of hydrogen production the government is aiming to achieve. This would imply massive investments in creating the infrastructure to support production. The US government’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law sets aside $9.5 billion in total funding, including $8 billion for creating 10 regional hydrogen hubs and $1.5 billion in additional funding for other support.
Charbone stands to benefit from rapid adoption of hydrogen as an alternative to fossil fuels. Moreover, Charbone’s focus solely on “green hydrogen” should further its position among investors looking for opportunities to invest in sustainable energy solutions. Green hydrogen is produced when the energy used to power electrolysis comes from renewable sources like wind, water, solar or nuclear. Charbone has clearly stated its intentions to leverage hydropower and nuclear energy to produce hydrogen.
Company Highlights
- Charbone Hydrogen is a Canada-based producer of green hydrogen, and is the only publicly listed green hydrogen producer in Canada.
- The company aims to develop a pipeline of 16 green hydrogen projects across the US and Canada. Of which, the first facility at Sorel-Tracy (Quebec, Canada) is under construction and is expected to be production-ready in mid-2024.
- The company will leverage hydropower and nuclear energy to produce green hydrogen which will allow it to control production costs while lowering emissions. Energy costs remain a significant portion of hydrogen production and the ability to lower these costs will make Charbone’s offering more competitive.
- Charbone has developed several strategic partnerships aimed at strengthening its position in the hydrogen market. This includes a construction agreement with EBC, a supply agreement with NEK Community Broadband, and an MOU with Oakland County for the development of the first green hydrogen plant in the US.
- In December 2023, the company announced the closing of the second tranche of private placement. When combined with the previous closing, the company has raised an aggregate of $499,877, which will be used to fund the construction of the Sorel-Tracy Project.
- Charbone is well positioned to participate in the rise of green hydrogen as a potential low-emitting alternative to fossil fuels.
Project Pipeline and Key Partnerships
The company plans to construct 16 hydrogen projects across North America (six in Canada and 10 in the US) over the next four years. The first of which is under construction at Sorel-Tracy in Quebec, which is expected to be production-ready by mid-2024. The Sorel-Tracy facility is located on a 40,000-square-meter land parcel along Quebec Highway 30. The highway is known as the “Steel Highway” because of the numerous steel mills and process plants operating along the highway.
The construction of Phase 1 of its Sorel-Tracy facility is being done in partnership with EBC, one of the largest construction companies in Quebec. EBC has a proven track record of designing and building facilities in Canada and the US. The partnership agreement gives EBC the right of first refusal to construct additional Sorel-Tracy phases, as well as one or all of Charbone’s facilities within the North American market.
In addition, Charbone has entered into several other strategic partnerships all aimed to expand its footprint in North America.
Superior Plus
This partnership allows Charbone to sell hydrogen produced at the Sorel-Tracy facility to Superior Propane, a subsidiary of Superior Plus. Such supply agreements ensure that Charbone can generate cash flow immediately following the commencement of production.
NEK Community Broadband
Another such supply agreement was signed in November 2023 with NEK Community Broadband, which ensures the supply of green hydrogen in the Northeast Kingdom of the state of Vermont (USA). NEK Broadband is building a high-speed broadband infrastructure and plans to install a hydrogen fuel cell backup system for a reliable power supply.
Oakland County Economic Development Department, Michigan
Further advancing its goal of US expansion, Charbone signed a memorandum of understanding in December 2023 with Michigan’s Oakland County Economic Development Department to set up Charbone’s first green hydrogen facility in the United States. Oakland County is home to major automakers, and a green hydrogen facility in their proximity will support the effort of producing environmentally friendly mobility options.
Being the only publicly listed green hydrogen player in Canada, Charbone offers investors a unique opportunity to participate in the rise of green hydrogen as a potential low-emitting alternative to fossil fuels.

Elixir Adds New Taroom Acreage
Elixir Energy Limited (“Elixir” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has been appointed as Preferred Tenderer in relation to a new exploration area in Queensland: PLR2023-1-7 (see map below). The area lies immediately adjacent to the Company’s Project Grandis in the Taroom Trough.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Elixir has been appointed by the Queensland Government as preferred tenderer for PLR2023-1-7
- The licence area is adjacent to Elixir’s Grandis Project and is prospective for both deep and shallow gas
Location map of PLR2023-1-7
PLR2023-1-7 covers 526 square kilometres and although just one licence is divided into 3 separate geographical areas. The North Eastern areas are located in the Taroom Trough and are prospective for the same deep gas plays as encountered in Project Grandis. These new areas cover 152 square kilometres and represent a 14% increase of Elixir’s acreage within the Taroom Trough, which to date has a 2C contingent resource booking of 1,297 Bcf (per ASX announcement of 29 May 2024).
The larger South-Western area, which covers 374 square kilometres is prospective for both shallow and deep gas targets.
Elixir will now proceed to obtain an Environmental Authority (EA) and complete any required native title process before being granted the final Authority to Prospect (ATP). This licence will not be subject to any domestic gas reservation. Elixir will own a 100% working interest in the ATP and will be the Operator.
Technical studies have already begun on all of the areas of the licence to address issues such as the potential addition of contingent and prospective resources, drill target(s) and potential partners once the licence is formally granted.
Elixir’s Managing Director, Mr Neil Young, said: “Naturally we are pleased to be recognized by the Queensland Government as the preferred tenderer for a new licence area which is highly complementary to our existing Grandis Gas Project position. That recognition in part at least acknowledges the good work undertaken by our team since we have entered Queensland two years ago.”

From Fossil Fuels to Renewables: How the Energy Transition is Transforming the Oil and Gas Industry
The oil and gas sector has long been one of the Earth's largest and most valuable industries, but it's undergoing major changes to compete in the green energy transition and remain profitable.
At last year's COP28 summit, nations signaled a definitive shift away from fossil fuels, marking a potential "beginning of the end" for the era. While ambitious, the reality is more complex. Oil and gas aren't disappearing anytime soon — in fact, the industry is projected to rake in revenue of US$5.3 trillion in 2024, with daily consumption of 103 million barrels.
Indeed, petroleum remains the lifeblood of transportation systems, powering billions of vehicles, while natural gas heats a significant portion of the world's homes. At the same time, the industry's substantial environmental impact — accounting for 15 percent of energy-related emissions on a worldwide scale — cannot be ignored.
As countries balance continued fossil fuel requirements with the urgent need to decarbonize, companies are exploring a range of strategies to modernize oil and gas operations, from tackling methane emissions and eliminating non-emergency flaring, to electrifying upstream facilities with low-emissions electricity, using carbon capture and storage technologies and expanding low-emissions hydrogen use in refineries. Read on to learn more about these efforts.
Reducing CO2 emissions with renewable gasoline
A company offering solutions that fit under this umbrella is Verde Clean Fuels (NASDAQ:VGAS).
The company is focused on creating commercial plants to convert various feedstocks, including biomass and flared natural gas, into gasoline using its proprietary SynGasToGasoline+ (STG+) process.
The Investing News Network (INN) spoke with Ernie Miller, CEO of Verde, about turning waste into fuel and targeting “stranded assets.” He explained that STG+ has two different pathways to production.
One pathway uses natural gas as the feedstock, converting it to synthesis gas via steam methane reforming, and then converting the synthesis gas to methanol and finally gasoline. The other pathway gasifies renewable feedstocks, like biomass or agricultural waste, to produce the synthesis gas, which then follows the same process to gasoline.
In addition to creating “renewable gasoline,” the second pathway has the benefit of generating excess biogenic CO2 that can be sequestered, resulting in a gasoline product with a “deeply negative carbon intensity score." As Miller explained, this means more carbon is put into the ground during production than is emitted when the gasoline is burned.
He clarified that while the gasoline produced using Verde’s process burns the same as any other gasoline, “What's different is that in the process of producing that renewable gasoline, we've put more carbon in the ground than carbon is released when you burn that gasoline. So it’s carbon negative.”
In 2022, the production, transport and processing of oil and gas generated 5.1 billion metric tons of CO2 equivalent. Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from oil and gas activities accounted for just under 15 percent of total energy-related greenhouse gas emissions, according to the International Energy Agency.
Mitigating flaring and stranded assets
In addition to reducing emissions associated with the oil and gas production process, the STG+ method can use the natural gas that companies burn off or “flare” during the oil extraction process.
“We've got an awful lot of opportunities here in North America to bring value to low-value natural gas, while at the same time solving a major flaring issue,” said Miller said during the conversation.
By targeting natural gas that would normally lack economic benefit and be flared off, Verde is also creating another revenue stream for companies like Diamondback Energy (NASDAQ:FANG). Using the STG+ process, Diamondback, which operates in the Permian Basin and is a partner of Verde, can now unlock more value from its assets.
Miller said Diamondback is highly regarded for its operations and leadership in methane abatement and flare mitigation. The company excels in adding value to disadvantaged natural gas, particularly in the Permian Basin, where natural gas trades at the Waha hub. Currently, natural gas at Waha trades at negative US$2.45 per MMBtu, meaning producers incur a loss before gathering, compression and processing costs.
"Gas in the Permian Basin today has no value. If you don't have firm transport to a Gulf Coast market, that's what you're going to get — you're effectively going to have to pay somebody to vent your natural gas," he explained, adding, “So we're able to (provide) that economic benefit to a producer … we're able to really kind of swap commodity exposures for something that is very low value or no value to something that's much higher value."
Oil and gas producers also face the issue of stranded assets — properties that are too small or uneconomical to target. This is especially true in regions like West Africa, where there is no market or infrastructure to transport natural gas.
Companies like BP (LSE:BP,NYSE:BP) and Total (NYSE:TTE) have invested heavily in oil production in these areas, but the natural gas produced often has no destination and is flared, causing environmental and economic problems.
Addressing the stranded gas issue globally could benefit all stakeholders, as organizations like the World Bank are increasingly tying funding to the reduction of flaring.
Extracting lithium from oilfield brine
Like Verde, Volt Lithium (TSXV:VLT,OTCQB:VLTLF) is targeting the energy potential within waste streams.
The battery metals-focused company is specifically targeting oilfield brine, a saltwater that is produced during the exploration and extraction of oil and natural gas. It is non-potable water that primarily contains dissolved sodium, calcium, magnesium and chloride. This produced water can also contain lithium.
As Alex Wylie, CEO, president and director, told INN, Volt’s proprietary direct lithium extraction technology consists of three phases. In the first phase, contaminants like organics are removed from the brine. In the second phase, direct lithium extraction occurs using two technologies developed by Volt. They effectively extract 98 to 99 percent of the lithium from the brine. This water, often associated with oil production, is typically considered a waste stream. For every barrel of oil, 4.5 barrels of water are produced, which can be used to extract lithium instead of being disposed of.
The third phase involves concentrating and crystallizing the lithium to produce a battery-grade product. Volt's technology has proven to be capable of delivering a commercially viable lithium product, and the company plans to move into field operations to produce battery-grade metal. “We've demonstrated over the last year that there is a (battery-grade) product that we can develop. And we're at the phase now where we're looking to move into field operations. We're going to be also producing battery-grade metal from the field operations,” said Wylie.
Using desalination to combat the water crisis
Volt's technology could be especially useful in Texas' Permian and Delaware basins.
Wylie went on to note that in the US, 22 million barrels of oilfield brine are produced daily, potentially yielding 350,000 metric tons of lithium annually, enough to meet a third of US lithium demand by 2030.
Aside from reusing a waste stream to extract value, Volt's process could eventually help create water streams for use in processing and manufacturing. Wylie said that on its own, the Permian Basin in Texas generates 19 million barrels (681 million gallons) of water daily, noting that this water needs to be desalinated.
At the same time, Texas consumes large amounts of water. The manufacturing sector uses 900 million gallons daily, while agriculture needs 1.4 billion gallons and power production requires 300 million gallons.
"When people think about desal, I'm not talking about drinking water, I'm talking about other uses," he said. "There is an opportunity here to reuse the water for other purposes, to help with the water crisis of the Southwest US."
Volt’s lithium extraction process creates "very clean water" by removing contaminants using reagents such as sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid. “So when we go to desalination, ultimately we've got a clean product to start with, which falls in line with environmental sustainability and reusing that water to the maximum ability,” said Wylie.
“I know there's work to be done on desalination, so I'm not saying that we're doing that today — we're focused on lithium extraction,” he said. “But in the future, we see an opportunity where you could use that water for other purposes.”
