Charbone Corporation (TSXV: CH; OTCQB: CHHYF; FSE: K47), a vertically integrated industrial gases company, announced the delivery of its electrolyzer to its flagship site in Sorel-Tracy, Quebec. This milestone marks a critical step in the completion of Phase 1B of the project, which aims to increase the company's clean ultra-high purity (UHP) hydrogen production capacity. The arrival of the electrolyzer, the technological core of the next production phase, enables Charbone's teams and contractors to begin installation and integration into the site's infrastructure.
The electrolyzer, designed to produce hydrogen through water electrolysis, is central to Charbone's modular and phased strategy. This approach allows the company to add production capacity in line with demand while maintaining disciplined development. Civil engineering work and foundation preparation have been completed to accommodate the equipment, and subsequent activities will include component assembly, mechanical and electrical connections, testing, and commissioning. The company reiterates its timeline for a fall launch, with further updates to follow as commissioning and ramp-up proceed.
Dave Gagnon, President and CEO of Charbone, expressed pride in the achievement, stating, "This is far more than the delivery of a piece of equipment; it represents the achievement of a pivotal step in realizing our vision and one of the most important milestones in the Company's history." He emphasized that the risks associated with delivery are now behind them, and the company is entering a new phase of execution that will strengthen its ability to serve key customers and create sustainable value for shareholders.
The Sorel-Tracy site is part of Charbone's network of clean UHP hydrogen production facilities across North America and selected international markets. The company serves sectors such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence and data centers, advanced pharmaceuticals, and aerospace and defense, where UHP gases are critical for high-precision manufacturing. Charbone's integrated storage and distribution platform for all UHP gases supports scalable growth and enables stable revenue generation, addressing supply gaps for mid-tier industrial customers.
This delivery signifies tangible progress in Charbone's development plan and reinforces its commitment to supporting the global transition to a lower-carbon economy by providing accessible, decentralized clean hydrogen. For more information about Charbone and its projects, visit www.charbone.com.
