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. The new facility, termed the Atlantic Hub, will be managed by its subsidiary CHARBONE Nova Scotia Inc. and is expected to be operational by June 2026.
The Atlantic Hub will serve as a physical facility for local storage and regional distribution, ensuring a reliable and flexible supply of hydrogen for demanding industrial users, including defense, advanced manufacturing, mobility, and energy infrastructure sectors. This initiative marks a new step in CHARBONE's deployment strategy aimed at establishing an integrated network of hubs for production, storage, and distribution of hydrogen and strategic industrial gases across North America.
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. The company has worked on various initiatives with potential clients and partners in port infrastructure, Canadian Navy shipyards and facilities, automotive component supply chain, utility and energy companies, research and development companies, and advanced zero-emission transportation solutions.
The 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 and accelerating the shift to localized clean energy.
