Charbone Hydrogen Corp Secures First U.S. Clean UHP Hydrogen Order and Closes $3.1 Million Private Placement

Charbone Hydrogen Corp. (TSXV: CH, OTC: CHHYF) announced on 14 January 2026 that it has secured its inaugural contract for ultra‑high‑purity (UHP) hydrogen from a customer in New York State. The deal marks a significant milestone for the Montreal‑based company, which has positioned itself as a provider of green dihydrogen for industrial and commercial applications across North America and beyond.

First UHP Hydrogen Order

The contract, reported by Stockwatch, The News Wire, Gas World, and The Market Online, involves the supply of clean UHP hydrogen to a U.S. client situated in New York. Charbone’s modular, expandable facility design—developed at its headquarters in Brossard—enables rapid deployment and scalability, a feature that appealed to the buyer seeking a reliable, environmentally responsible hydrogen source. The order confirms the commercial viability of Charbone’s technology and positions the company to tap into the expanding U.S. hydrogen market.

$3.1 Million Private Placement

On 12 January 2026, Charbone announced the successful close of a non‑brokered private placement raising CAD 3.1 million. The transaction, disclosed on Feeds Feedburner, InvestingNews, and Lelezard, was conducted without an intermediary and provided fresh capital for the company’s growth initiatives. The infusion will support the scaling of production capacity, the development of additional modular plants, and further research into hydrogen purification technologies.

Market Context

Charbone’s stock closed at CAD 0.145 on 12 January 2026, with a 52‑week high of CAD 0.435 (12 December 2025) and a low of CAD 0.04 (21 April 2025). The company’s market capitalization stands at CAD 31.55 million, and its price‑earnings ratio is currently negative at –11.74, reflecting its early‑stage investment phase. Trading resumed on 12 January, following a temporary halt by the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization to ensure orderly market activity.

Outlook

With the first U.S. contract and additional capital secured, Charbone is positioned to accelerate its expansion plans. The company’s focus on green UHP hydrogen aligns with growing regulatory support for low‑carbon energy solutions. Analysts will watch for the company’s ability to convert early sales into sustained revenue streams and to further scale its modular platform to meet rising demand.
