Charbone

Investor Insight

Charbone Corporation offers investors exposure to the rapidly expanding clean ultra high purity (UHP) hydrogen and specialty gases market through a modular, capital-efficient strategy that accelerates deployment and revenue generation. With first helium and UHP hydrogen deliveries, successful financings, and a growing network of long-term supply agreements, the company is entering a pivotal commercial phase supported by robust industry and policy tailwinds.

Overview

Charbone Corporation (TSXV:CH,OTCQB:CHHYF,FWB:K47) is an integrated company specialized in clean UHP hydrogen and the strategic distribution of industrial gases in North America and the Asia-Pacific region. It is developing a modular network of clean UHP hydrogen production while partnering with industry players to supply helium and other specialty gases without the need to build costly new plants. This disciplined strategy diversifies revenue streams, reduces risks and increases flexibility.

Charbone has accelerated its growth trajectory, negotiating a US$50 million financing, as one of possibilities in its toolbox, to expand across North America, executing a US$1 million collaboration agreement to advance a clean UHP hydrogen project in Malaysia, and achieving multiple milestones at its flagship Sorel-Tracy facility in Quebec. In 2025, the company completed the construction and equipment installation at Sorel-Tracy and began commissioning, after acquiring from Harnois Énergies and relocating the operating hydrogen production and refueling equipment to the site to enable faster commissioning and earlier hydrogen sales.

Charbone also launched its Industrial Gases Distribution Division and made its first helium delivery of 161,000 cubic feet of helium to an independent distributor in the Greater Toronto Area, underpinned by a three-year supply agreement. The company also signed a five-year clean UHP hydrogen supply contract with an Ontario-based distributor, with first deliveries scheduled to begin in December 2025. These agreements mark the company’s entry into the Ontario market and its integration into the North American specialty gases supply chain.

With its exclusive focus on clean UHP hydrogen, Charbone is positioning itself as a first mover in a multi-billion-dollar market. Leveraging Canada’s hydroelectric power and expanding nuclear capacity, Charbone plans to deliver sustainable hydrogen solutions that meet rising demand from both governments and global industries.
