The company has executed a special construction agreement based on a hybrid model between its wholly owned subsidiary, Charbone Hydrogène Québec (Charbone QC) and Construction Sorel.
Securing this agreement was the final item included in Charbone QC’s construction budget for a fast-track components integration, pre-construction activities and site construction of its first green hydrogen facility in Sorel-Tracey, Québec.
The parties decided on a hybrid construction model for the agreement to ensure that the teams will prioritise collaboration and promote a sense of ownership and teamwork as the parties work together to achieve desired on-site results within the timeframe and budget associated.
Dave Gagnon, Chairman and CEO of Charbone, said, “Construction Sorel is an established local company that works on all kinds of industrial projects.
“Charbone’s strategy is to produce its green hydrogen from modular and scalable facilities allows us to fast track the project in a timely and cost-efficient manner which will shorten the installation and commissioning process and allow us to accelerate our first kilogramme production.”
Last year, Charbone Corporation signed an agreement with Superior Propane to provide green hydrogen to commercial and industrial customers in Canada.
Under the letter of intent, Charbone will provide Superior with green hydrogen sourced from its Sorel-Tracey facility and therefore allowing the supply of hydrogen to customers in the mining, power generation, transportation and industrial sectors.
The Québec Government released its Green Hydrogen and Bioenergy Strategy last year to accelerate the production, distribution and use of green hydrogen and bioenergy.
The province strives to replace fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in pursuit of climate targets.
The Government hopes to improve electrolyser technologies and reduce costs of renewable electricity to make a profitable and competitive green hydrogen production sector.

A Successful Ecosystem for Green Hydrogen – London
It is becoming ever clearer that the entire green hydrogen ecosystem requires alignment. Hydrogen’s potential, performance, and safety are proven. Green hydrogen is widely accepted as a core pathway to Net Zero, yet the key levers in the transition are not yet in-sync.
At H2 View we recognise the increasingly challenging economic climate that various countries/economies are currently facing. We want to help as many companies as possible in the hydrogen space to achieve their needs as competitively and logically as possible. As a result, we felt it was a compelling decision to relocate our previously planned event in Iceland, to a venue in London.
Join H2 View in London, one of the foremost investment capitals of the world, for a 1.5-day event devoted to thought leadership, insights, and actionable takeaways in the green hydrogen ecosystem, combined with the connections and networking to deliver against those objectives.
This H2 View hydrogen summit is dedicated to dissecting the ecosystem requirements to truly realise a green hydrogen-fuelled future across industries, transport, and society. This event will tackle all sides of the energy ecosystem, from wind and solar power requirements to additionality, water sustainability, electrolyser technologies, and investment and policy climate.
