Daniel Charette, COO of CHARBONE Corp. (TSXV: CH | OTCQB: CHHYF | FSE: K47), discusses the industrial gas company’s focus on producing clean, ultra-high purity hydrogen through water electrolysis at its flagship Sorel-Tracy site in Quebec. With the electrolyzer now delivered to the site, the company is completing Phase 1B and increasing production capacity in line with demand, positioning itself to supply industrial users that need reliable, locally produced ultra-high purity hydrogen as clean energy adoption grows.
Electrolyzer delivery anchors ultra-high purity hydrogen production at Sorel-Tracy
Unlike operators that commit to a single large build, CHARBONE adds production capacity in stages tied to demand. The electrolyzer delivered to Sorel-Tracy is designed to produce hydrogen through water electrolysis, and it anchors the next phase of production at the site. According to Charette, “The milestone marks another step in our modular and phased strategy of adding production capacity in line with demand while maintaining a disciplined approach.” Building in modules keeps capital committed close to the demand it serves and allows each site to scale as customers are added. The company believes this approach suits a hydrogen market that is still building out its supply base.
Clean hydrogen demand supports CHARBONE’s phased Quebec buildout
With industrial users seeking clean, ultra-high purity hydrogen produced closer to where it is consumed, CHARBONE is positioned to serve that demand from Quebec. Sorel-Tracy is the company’s flagship site, and the capacity added through Phase 1B is being brought online in step with uptake rather than ahead of it. That phased structure is central to the investor case. Capacity is added incrementally, spending stays matched to demand, and each completed phase becomes the base for the next. By keeping the buildout tied to demand, the company aims to give investors early-stage exposure to clean hydrogen production without the concentration risk of a single large project.
Sorel-Tracy site milestones point to fall commissioning
Recent milestones include the delivery of the electrolyzer to Sorel-Tracy, with civil work and foundations prepared ahead of its arrival. Teams, contractors and technical partners can now begin installation and integration on site, with component assembly, mechanical and electrical connection testing, and commissioning set to follow on schedule. Charette says, “With delivery risks now behind us, we now enter a new phase of execution and are on track for our previously communicated launch in the fall.”
CHARBONE moves from delivery to execution at Sorel-Tracy
As CHARBONE moves from delivery into installation and commissioning, it stands at the intersection of growing clean hydrogen demand and the need for local ultra-high purity supply. With Phase 1B nearing completion and launch expected in the fall, the company is positioned to deliver disciplined, staged progress in Quebec.

Daniel Charette: CHARBONE recently reached a major milestone with the delivery of our electrolyzer to our flagship Sorel-Tracy site in Québec, a decisive step in completing Phase 1B and increasing clean, ultra-high purity hydrogen production capacity.
Designed to produce hydrogen through water electrolysis, the electrolyzer anchors the next phase of production at Sorel-Tracy, and its arrival enables our teams, contractors, and technical partners to begin its installation and integration on site.
Civil work and foundations were in preparation ahead of delivery, with component assembly, mechanical and electrical connection testing, and commissioning set to follow on schedule.
The milestone marks another step in our modular and phased strategy of adding production capacity in line with demand while maintaining a disciplined approach.
With delivery risks now behind us, we now enter a new phase of execution and are on track for our previously communicated launch in the fall.
