Charbone Hydrogen (TSXV:CH) offers a compelling investment opportunity in the US$89 billion green hydrogen market, leveraging a decentralized approach for scalable plant deployment and focusing on environmentally friendly production to reduce carbon footprints.
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.
Green hydrogen: key element to decarbonize the world
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.
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.
Carbone forged strong partnerships to execute its business model.
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. The Sorel-Tracy facility is located on a 40,000-square-meter land parcel along Quebec Highway 30, 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. The company entered into a special consultancy agreement with Enki GéoSolutions for potential partnership proposals as a co-operator and distributor of an emerging form of clean and renewable hydrogen, known as white or natural hydrogen.
In June 2024, Carbone executed a supply agreement for a complete containerized electrolyzer system ready for shipment to its flagship green hydrogen site in the City of Sorel-Tracy, Quebec. The electrolyzer has a higher capacity than originally planned and will significantly enhance initial operational capacity estimates. The company also acquired its first tube trailer for the transport and bulk delivery of compressed green hydrogen produced from the City of Sorel-Tracy, Quebec flagship project to local and domestic customers.
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.
Carbone Hydrogen entered into an off-take partnership with Superior Plus on the supply and
distribution of green hydrogen.
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.
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.
Dave Gagnon has been chairman and chief executive officer of Charbone Hydrogen Corporation since April 21, 2022. He has been a climate tech entrepreneur for the last 25 years, and was the first entrepreneur in Canada to start a wind turbine company and offer a new alternative energy solution in North America. Gagnon also worked with an institutional investor that manages several public pension plans, Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec, where he gained deep knowledge of the financial markets.
Benoit Veilleux was appointed as the CFO of Charbone on August 15, 2022. Veilleux has over 15 years of experience in corporate accounting and finance. He began his professional career at KPMG in 2003, where he managed and coordinated audit teams for public companies until 2010. Since then, he has worked with a number of companies including Air Liquide Canada and the Hypertec Group.
Daniell Charette has been the chief operating officer of Charbone since February 2019. He brings over 25 years of experience in running and managing renewable energy companies.

Source Rock Royalties offers investors exposure to oil and gas production without operational costs, providing steady cash flow through its diversified portfolio of royalties and mineral rights.
Source Rock Royalties (TSXV:SRR) is a Calgary, Canada based company exclusively focused on oil & gas royalties in the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Source Rock's portfolio primarily consists of royalty interests focused on oil, with concentrations in southeast Saskatchewan, central Alberta and west-central Saskatchewan. The portfolio comprises:
Since its inception, Source Rock Royalties has consistently pursued royalty acquisitions, even amidst significant energy market fluctuations. The company has primarily concentrated on non-marketed royalty acquisitions rather than opportunities marketed through formal third-party processes. Leveraging strong relationships within the oil and gas sector in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, Source Rock identifies and accesses niche royalty acquisitions.
Source Rock acquired new royalties worth nearly C$13 million in 2023 and a total of C$16.5 million since its IPO in March 2022. These acquisitions effectively doubled Source Rock’s royalty acreage, significantly enhancing both its current royalty production and its exposure to potential undeveloped drill locations. Source Rock generated C$6.6 million in royalty revenue in 2023, the highest in its 11-year history. Source Rock has generated C$5.8 million royalty revenue for the first nine months of 2024.
Source Rock endeavors to keep costs low, thereby maximizing cash flows. Aside from the CEO and CFO, additional technical oil and gas professionals are engaged by Source Rock as consultants on an as-needed basis. Source Rock Royalties employs only one full-time staff member. The low-cost base ensures consistent cash flows as evidenced by its more than 11+year track record of delivering positive funds from operations.
Strong cash flow allows the company to consistently pay dividends. Source Rock has paid ~$19 million in dividends to shareholders from 2014 to Q4 2024. Source Rock’s per share dividend has increased by 30 percent since March 2023.
The current monthly dividend is $0.0065 and is sustainable given that it can comfortably be funded by current operations even at a lower oil price scenario of ~C$60/bbl (or ~US$50/bbl WTI).
The management and board of directors have a proven track record of creating value in the oil & gas industry. The insiders own 10 percent of Source Rock’s common shares, aligning their interest to that of the shareholders by directly participating in the same financings as outside shareholders since inception. The company has a strong institutional shareholder with CN Rail Pension Fund owning approximately 20 percent of Source Rock’s common shares. Source Rock Royalties has a clean capital structure with only 45.5 million common shares issued and outstanding.
Source Rock focuses on a balanced growth and yield model, limiting volatility in returns for shareholders. Source Rock offers investors a unique opportunity to gain exposure to the oil & gas sector in Canada.
Source Rock's current portfolio comprises royalties primarily focused on oil (95 percent), spread across southeast Saskatchewan, central Alberta and west-central Saskatchewan. The company holds varying gross overriding royalties in more than 150,000 gross acres of land. Additionally, Source Rock owns a production volume royalty in Viking mineral interests situated in lands in east-central Alberta.
The majority of Source Rock's royalties are derived from top-line revenue, resulting in minimal exposure to deductions linked to production costs from wellbores and the sale of various commodities. Also, the majority of its current royalty payors are financially stable and possess robust capabilities to efficiently operate and enhance the value of the lands in which Source Rock holds royalties. Some of the key royalty payors include Whitecap Resources (TSX:WCP), Rubellite Energy (TSX:RBY), Surge Energy (TSX:SGY), Veren (TSX:VRN), Anova Resources (Private), Marling Resources (Private) and Axiom Oil & Gas (Private), among many others.
The company holds gross overriding royalties in approximately 35,000 gross acres of land in southeast Saskatchewan. The key operators include Whitecap Resources, Vermilion Energy (TSX:VET), Anova Resources (Private), Veren (TSX:VRN), Tundra Oil & Gas (Private), ROK Resources (TSXV:ROK), Woodland Development (Private) and Saturn Oil & Gas (TSX:SOIL). Future development activities on gross overriding royalty lands will be focused on the Frobisher Formation. The Frobisher Formation, characterized by shallow depths and conventional light oil, does not necessitate hydraulic fracturing, making it one of Canada's most economically viable light oil plays.
The company holds a gross overriding royalty in approximately 60,000 net acres (95 sections) of largely contiguous land in the Figure Lake area of central Alberta. Rubellite Energy is the operator of gross overriding royalty lands and the production is entirely from the Clearwater Formation. The gross overriding royalty initially carries a royalty rate of 1.5 percent until the cumulative royalty revenue received by Source Rock matches the purchase price. At that point, the royalty rate decreases to 1 percent. The operator has committed to drill 59 horizontal wells on the lands between December 2023 and June 2026.
Source Rock earns a production volume royalty supported by production from Hamilton Lake Unit and Viking lands of Axiom Oil & Gas. Pursuant to the production volume royalty agreement, Source Rock's remaining entitlement to royalty volumes from the Hamilton Lake Unit is as follows:
Source Rock owns varying gross overriding royalties in approximately 60,000 gross acres of land located in west-central Saskatchewan and central Alberta. The west-central Saskatchewan gross overriding royalty lands produce predominantly light oil from the Viking and Mannville formations. The Central Alberta gross overriding royalties produce from various formations and include exposure to several low-decline properties that are under waterflood.
Brad Docherty is the Founder of Source Rock Royalties, and has held the positions of president, chief executive officer and chairman of the company since its incorporation. Previously, he was a corporate finance & securities lawyer at Gowlings and served as the president, CEO and director of Exito Energy and Exitio Energy II, both capital pool companies on the TSXV.

Trillion Energy International Inc. (" Trillion " or the "Company ") (CSE: TCF) (OTCQB: TRLEF) (Frankfurt: Z62) is pleased to announce that it has successfully run 2 38 velocity string tubing ("VS") in four existing wells, including three long reach wells on the Akcakoca Platform at the SASB Gas Field, Turkey.
The new tubing operation was conducted to reduce water loading, increase production and overall recovery from the wells. With the new tubing strings, the wells should be able to produce at a lower WHP (well head pressure) for a longer period.
Following the velocity string installation, production from Guluc-2 and West Akcakoca-1 commenced production again and is showing steady improvement, demonstrating the program's initial success in enhancing well performance. Both wells previously experienced production challenges causing down time due to water loading with the previous 4 1/2 tubing. The Akcakoca-3 well continues production with reduced daily water production.
The Company is presently planning the next phase of the operation, which is running the VS on two tripod wells and stimulating all the wells to clean up the producing reservoirs, build pressure and increase production. Choke sizes are being adjusted to minimize water production and maximize gas production. The Company has been injecting nitrogen into wells to flush out water build up as needed.
Winter weather conditions prolonged the operation and necessitated a week's break between the tripods and platform operation, as did the requirement for ordering additional equipment (burst disks) which are expected to arrive later this week.
The Company is confident that these measures will lead to an increase in production for these wells.

Coelacanth Energy Inc. (TSXV: CEI) ("Coelacanth" or the "Company") announces that it has completed and tested 4 additional wells at its Two Rivers East Project including 3 Lower Montney Wells and 1 Upper Montney well on the 5-19 pad.
LOWER MONTNEY
The 3 new Lower Montney wells (F5-19, G5-19, H5-19) were drilled with an average horizontal length of 3,285 metres and completed with approximately 2.5 tons of sand per horizontal metre. The wells were placed on test for clean-up for an average of 7 days until a stabilized rate was achieved. The test rates noted below are based on the final 24 hours of each test.
The average rate achieved for the 3 new Lower Montney wells was 1,624 boepd per well comprised of 989 bbls per day of 41 API light sweet oil and 3.8 mmcf/d of liquids-rich gas. The rates per well are outlined in the table below:
| Well | Oil - bbls/d | Gas - mmcf/d | Total - boe/d | % Light Oil |
| F5-19 | 1,061 | 3.2 | 1,595 | 67 |
| G5-19 | 900 | 4.0 | 1,573 | 57 |
| H5-19 | 1,007 | 4.2 | 1,703 | 59 |
| Average | 989 | 3.8 | 1,624 | 61 |
The overall rates and more specifically the oil rates were materially higher than the previous 3 wells on the pad (C5-19, D5-19 and E5-19) that achieved an average test rate of 1,338 boepd including 729 bbls/d of light oil and 3.7 mmcf/d of gas (see press release dated January 18, 2024 for more information including per well test results and initial production rates). Although the 3 new Lower Montney wells were drilled with slightly longer lateral lengths and the completion design was slightly modified in an attempt to increase the overall oil production, the tests have exceeded expectations.
UPPER MONTNEY
The Upper Montney well (B5-19) was drilled with a horizontal length of 2,647 metres and completed with approximately 2.5 tons of sand per horizontal metre. The well flowed on cleanup for 6 days and achieved a rate of 1,136 boepd comprised of 271 bbls/d of 40 API light oil and 5.2 mmcf/d of liquids-rich gas. In comparison to the Lower Montney Wells noted above, the B5-19 was 20% shorter in horizontal length and had 42% less frac stages leaving room for future optimization.
Management is very pleased with the B5-19 test result particularly the potential impact on Coelacanth's development inventory over its 150-section contiguous Montney land block. The Upper Montney is extensively mapped over Coelacanth's lands, but the impact of this test is amplified given it is a 10-mile step-out from Coelacanth's Two Rivers West project and 5 miles from the nearest competitor well.
INFRASTRUCTURE & TAKEAWAY
As previously disclosed, Coelacanth has secured long-term takeaway and processing for up to 60 mmcf/d of gas and is in process of constructing the required facilities and pipelines to handle the 5-19 and subsequent pads. Initial testing and start-up of the facility is anticipated for late April 2025.
Overall, Coelacanth believes this was a very significant second step in its development that has materially expanded the development fairway of the Upper Montney as well as increased the productivity of the Lower Montney that was already established as productive.
