CHARBONE Corporation has announced the sale of clean ultra-high-purity hydrogen in Ontario to a specialized contractor serving the film and entertainment production industry. This hydrogen will enable the operation of hydrogen fuel cell generators used to provide electricity on movie and television production sites. The initiative represents a commercial application for hydrogen that demonstrates a pathway to reducing emissions, noise, and fuel logistics complexity typically associated with traditional diesel generators in film production.
The company confirms it has begun supplying clean UHP hydrogen in Ontario to support the deployment of fuel cell-powered generator systems used for production sets and related mobile infrastructure. This supply will be supported through CHARBONE's distribution capabilities and delivery logistics, ensuring safe and reliable service to meet the operational needs of professional production crews working under strict scheduling requirements. While CHARBONE is not disclosing the volume, duration, or financial terms of this commercial arrangement to maintain its competitive position, revenues generated by the company's production, distribution, and service activities are presented on a consolidated basis in its quarterly financial statements.
This first Ontario sale into the film-related power segment reflects CHARBONE's broader strategy to expand hydrogen commercialization beyond traditional industrial uses and into real-world mobile and temporary power applications, where fuel cells offer advantages in performance, sustainability, and operating conditions. The company is a North American producer and distributor specializing in clean UHP hydrogen and strategic industrial gases, with a focus 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.
"Hydrogen is no longer a concept - it's becoming an operational solution," said Dave Gagnon, CHARBONE's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. "We are proud to support a specialized contractor in Ontario enabling fuel cell generator operations for the film industry. This is a strong example of how clean UHP hydrogen can deliver real value today - quiet, reliable, and low-emission energy, where and when it matters."
The company's 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.

This development has implications for both the hydrogen industry and the film production sector. For hydrogen technology, it demonstrates a practical, commercial application outside traditional industrial settings, potentially opening new markets for mobile and temporary power solutions. For the film industry, it offers a path to reduce environmental impact and noise pollution on sets, which is particularly valuable for productions in sensitive locations or those requiring quiet operation. The use of hydrogen fuel cells could also simplify logistics compared to diesel generators, which require frequent refueling and produce emissions.
The company's forward-looking statements and risk factors are detailed in its Management's Discussion & Analysis available on https://www.sedarplus.ca. CHARBONE is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV: CH), the OTC Markets (OTCQB: CHHYF), and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSE: K47).
