CHARBONE CORPORATION (TSXV: CH; OTCQB: CHHYF; FSE: K47), a North American producer and distributor of clean Ultra High Purity (UHP) hydrogen and strategic industrial gases, announced its participation in the Hydrogen East conference on April 13, 2026, and the development of a supply hub dedicated to UHP hydrogen and strategic specialty gases in the Atlantic Canada market ("Atlantic Hub").
The future Atlantic Hub, to be managed by its subsidiary CHARBONE Nova Scotia Inc. and operational by June 2026, will serve as a dedicated physical facility for local storage and regional distribution. This initiative aims to ensure a reliable and flexible supply of hydrogen for demanding industrial users, including the defense, advanced manufacturing, mobility, and energy infrastructure sectors. CHARBONE has been active in the Atlantic region for over three years, developing in-depth knowledge of the Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island markets, while working on initiatives with major potential clients and partners in port infrastructure, Canadian Navy shipyards, automotive component supply chain, utility and energy companies, research and development, and advanced zero-emission transportation solutions.
This "hub-and-spoke" model is a cornerstone of CHARBONE's strategy to progressively deploy a scalable network of hydrogen and strategic industrial gas supply hubs across Canada and the United States, supporting regional markets through local storage, logistics, and distribution capabilities. "The Atlantic Canada region represents a strategic market for CHARBONE, particularly due to the presence of high-quality infrastructure, large industrial users, and energy transition initiatives," said Dave Gagnon, CHARBONE’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. "The Company anticipates that this hub will play a structuring role in the development of its future North American hydrogen logistics platform."
CHARBONE is a developer and producer of clean UHP hydrogen with a growing industrial gas distribution platform. Through a modular approach, the Company focuses on developing a network of clean hydrogen production facilities throughout North America and select markets abroad, starting with its flagship Sorel-Tracy project in Quebec. The integrated model reduces risk, enhances scalability, and enables diversified revenue streams through partnerships in helium and other specialty gases. CHARBONE is committed to supporting the global transition to a lower-carbon economy by providing accessible, decentralized clean hydrogen and specialty gas solutions while supporting underserved industrial gas customers.
