CHARBONE Corporation has confirmed the commercial launch of its modular clean Ultra High Purity hydrogen production facility in Sorel-Tracy, Quebec, following successful testing and equipment installation. The site, described as Quebec's first local and decentralized clean UHP hydrogen production facility, is now fully operational and preparing for its first customer deliveries.
Dave Gagnon, CHARBONE's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, stated that the commercial launch represents the culmination of several years of strategic work. The company views the Sorel-Tracy project as a cornerstone of its North American strategy to deploy local production units that provide industrial clients with reliable, clean, sustainable, and competitive hydrogen supply.
The modular plant approach is central to CHARBONE's vision for developing an interconnected network for the production and distribution of strategic gases across Canada and the United States. The company's roadmap involves phased deployment leading to increased capacity. For more details on CHARBONE's economic outlook and modular plant configuration, an investor presentation is available on the company's website at https://www.charbone.com.
This development represents a significant milestone for the clean UHP hydrogen industry in North America, supporting the global transition to a lower-carbon economy. By providing accessible, decentralized clean hydrogen solutions, CHARBONE aims to serve underserved industrial gas customers while accelerating the shift toward localized clean energy infrastructure.
The company has scheduled an investor webinar for Tuesday, December 16, 2025, at 11:00am ET, which interested parties can register for at https://info.rbmilestone.com/charbone-webinar-dec-2025. CHARBONE is publicly traded on multiple exchanges, including the TSX Venture Exchange, OTC Markets, and Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
For business and technology leaders, this announcement signals growing momentum in the clean hydrogen sector, particularly in decentralized production models that could reshape industrial energy supply chains. The successful launch of commercial operations at Sorel-Tracy demonstrates the viability of modular hydrogen production, potentially reducing supply chain risks and enhancing energy security for industrial users seeking to decarbonize their operations.
The implications extend beyond CHARBONE's immediate operations, suggesting a broader trend toward localized energy production that could transform how industries source critical gases. As companies increasingly prioritize sustainability and supply chain resilience, decentralized clean hydrogen facilities like CHARBONE's Sorel-Tracy plant offer a model for reducing carbon footprints while maintaining operational reliability.
