CHARBONE Achieves First Hydrogen Production Milestone in Quebec

CHARBONE CORPORATION (TSXV: CH; OTCQB: CHHYF; FSE: K47), a North American producer and distributor specializing in clean Ultra High Purity (UHP) hydrogen and strategic industrial gases, has achieved a significant milestone with the successful completion of equipment installation for Phase 1A at its Sorel-Tracy site in Quebec. In accordance with its announced schedule, the company has produced its first hydrogen molecule, marking a pivotal moment in its operational timeline. During the last weekend of November, CHARBONE's technical teams conducted the first hydrogen production tests following the commissioning of the company's inaugural local clean UHP hydrogen production module in Quebec. The initial results confirm that the system is functioning properly, validating the performance parameters and setting the stage for commercial operations.

Dave B. Gagnon, CEO of CHARBONE, emphasized the importance of these achievements, stating, "The completion of the Phase 1A installation and the successful completion of the first hydrogen production tests are key milestones for CHARBONE. These accomplishments demonstrate our teams' ability to execute rigorously. We are now entering the commercial production phase." The modular plant in Sorel-Tracy represents the first local and decentralized clean UHP hydrogen production facility in Quebec, aligning with CHARBONE's vision of building an integrated North American network for the production and distribution of clean and strategic gases.
