CHARBONE CORPORATION (TSXV: CH; OTCQB: CHHYF; FSE: K47), a vertically integrated industrial gases company, announced a long-term hydrogen supply contract with Hone Inc., a provider of mobile hydrogen power solutions for the entertainment industry. The agreement formalizes and extends a commercial relationship that began with CHARBONE's first hydrogen sales in Ontario in January 2026.
Hone's trailer-mounted 165 kW hydrogen generator systems serve as a clean alternative to standard 1,400-amp diesel generators used on film sets, eliminating emissions during production. Each generator day can displace more than 1.5 tonnes of CO2 compared to diesel operations. CHARBONE's clean ultra-high purity hydrogen fuels Hone's proprietary Fuel Block™ delivery and refueling system, enabling uninterrupted power for productions.
The contract reflects growing acceptance of hydrogen in the entertainment sector. A major Hollywood Studio with multiple productions filming in Toronto has utilized Hone's hydrogen generator service and CHARBONE's clean hydrogen on several occasions, validating the technology and supply chain.
The binding agreement covers a two-year term. Consistent with its practice, CHARBONE is not disclosing volume, pricing, or financial terms to maintain its competitive position. The company noted that demand for its clean hydrogen continues to outpace supply, underscoring the strategic importance of expanding its production network.
“This long-term supply agreement with Hone is a direct extension of the commercial momentum we established earlier this year, and it reflects something meaningful: the entertainment industry is not just testing hydrogen, it is integrating it into active studio production workflows,” said Dave Gagnon, Chairman & CEO of CHARBONE. “Clean hydrogen is proving its value in some of the most demanding operational environments, where reliability, safety, and performance are non-negotiable.”
“Partnering with CHARBONE on a long-term basis gives Hone the supply certainty we need to confidently serve our clients across multiple Hollywood productions, and a diverse range of other industries and clients,” said Ry Smith, CEO of Hone. “Clean, reliable hydrogen is the foundation of our service offering, and CHARBONE's clean UHP hydrogen meets the quality and logistics standards our customers depend on.”
