CHARBONE Corporation has successfully delivered its first load of clean Ultra High Purity hydrogen to an independent distributor in Ontario, marking the official start of revenue generation for its production division. This initial shipment from the company's Sorel-Tracy facility in Quebec confirms CHARBONE's ability to efficiently supply markets outside its home province from the outset of commercial operations.
The delivery represents a significant milestone for both CHARBONE and the North American clean hydrogen industry, addressing what the company describes as limited access to consistent and reliable clean UHP hydrogen supply in the market. Dave Gagnon, CHARBONE's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, stated that this achievement marks another major milestone for the company and for the clean UHP hydrogen industry across North America.
This contract initiates a new phase of commercial growth for CHARBONE, which plans to gradually expand its distribution network and strengthen its presence in the main industrial corridors of Eastern Canada and the American Midwest. The company's modular approach to hydrogen production facilities throughout North America and select international markets represents a strategic response to growing demand for clean energy alternatives.
The importance of this development extends beyond CHARBONE's corporate growth to broader industrial and environmental implications. As industries seek to reduce carbon emissions and transition toward cleaner energy sources, reliable access to clean hydrogen becomes increasingly critical for manufacturing, transportation, and energy sectors. CHARBONE's integrated business model, which reduces risk and enhances scalability while enabling diversified revenue streams through partnerships in helium and other specialty gases, positions the company to support this transition.

This document is available on SEDAR+ at https://www.sedarplus.ca and outlines factors that could affect the company's projected growth and market expansion plans.
This commercial milestone demonstrates the practical implementation of clean hydrogen infrastructure in North America, providing industrial customers with alternatives to traditional fossil fuel-based energy sources. As demand for decarbonization solutions grows across multiple sectors, CHARBONE's successful delivery establishes operational credibility for its production capabilities and distribution network, potentially accelerating adoption of hydrogen technologies in industrial applications throughout the region.
