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 ("Atlantic Hub"). This initiative represents a significant step in CHARBONE's strategy to establish an integrated network of hubs for production, storage, and distribution of hydrogen and industrial gases across North America.
The Atlantic Hub, to be managed by its subsidiary CHARBONE Nova Scotia Inc. and operational by June 2026, will serve as a physical facility for local storage and regional distribution. It aims to provide reliable and flexible hydrogen supply for demanding industrial users, including the defense, advanced manufacturing, mobility, and energy infrastructure sectors. CHARBONE has been active in the Atlantic region for over three years, developing in-depth knowledge of markets in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island, while working with potential clients and partners in port infrastructure, Canadian Navy shipyards, automotive supply chains, utility and energy companies, research and development firms, and advanced zero-emission transportation solutions.
This "hub-and-spoke" model is central to CHARBONE's strategy to 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. "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."
