CHARBONE Signs Long-Term Hydrogen Supply Deal with Hone to Power Hollywood Productions

CHARBONE CORPORATION, a vertically integrated industrial gases company, announced a binding two-year hydrogen supply agreement with Hone Inc., a provider of mobile hydrogen power solutions for the film and television industry. The deal formalizes a commercial relationship that began with CHARBONE’s first hydrogen sales in Ontario in January 2026, as reported in a press release.

Hone’s trailer-mounted 165 kW hydrogen internal combustion engine generator systems replace standard 1,400-amp diesel gensets, eliminating emissions on set. Each generator day displaces more than 1.5 tonnes of CO2 compared to diesel operations. CHARBONE’s ultra-high purity hydrogen fuels Hone’s proprietary Fuel Block delivery and drop-and-swap refueling system, ensuring uninterrupted power during production.

The contract underscores the 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 both the technology and supply chain. Dave Gagnon, Chairman & CEO of CHARBONE, stated, “The entertainment industry is not just testing hydrogen, it is integrating it into active studio production workflows.”

Ry Smith, CEO of Hone, emphasized the importance of supply certainty: “Partnering with CHARBONE on a long-term basis gives Hone the supply certainty we need to confidently serve our clients across multiple Hollywood productions.” The agreement covers a two-year term, with CHARBONE not disclosing volume, pricing, or financial terms to maintain competitive positioning.

Demand for clean UHP hydrogen continues to outpace supply, highlighting the strategic need for expanding CHARBONE’s production network. The company’s modular, decentralized approach supports scalable growth and serves customers across semiconductors, AI, data centers, pharmaceuticals, and aerospace. CHARBONE is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV: CH), OTC Markets (OTCQB: CHHYF), and Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSE: K47). More information is available at www.charbone.com.

This long-term contract marks a significant step in decarbonizing the entertainment industry’s energy use, demonstrating that hydrogen can meet the rigorous demands of film production while reducing carbon footprints.
