Charbone Corp. a North American producer and distributor specialising in clean ultra high purity (UHP) hydrogen and strategic industrial gases, has announced the sale of clean UHP hydrogen in Ontario, Canada, to a specialised contractor serving the film and entertainment production industry, enabling the operation of hydrogen fuel cell generators used on movie and television production sites.
Hydrogen for clean on-set power generation in Ontario
Charbone has confirmed it has begun supplying clean UHP hydrogen in Ontario to support the deployment of fuel cell-powered generator systems used to provide electricity for production sets and related mobile infrastructure.
This initiative represents a high-visibility commercial application for hydrogen, demonstrating a concrete pathway to reducing emissions, noise, and fuel logistics complexity typically associated with traditional diesel-based generators in the film production ecosystem.
The hydrogen 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.
A strategic step toward practical hydrogen adoption
This first Ontario sale into the film-related power segment reflects Charbone’s broader strategy to expand hydrogen commercialisation beyond traditional industrial uses and into real-world mobile and temporary power applications, where fuel cells offer strong advantages in performance, sustainability, and operating conditions.
“Hydrogen is no longer a concept – it is becoming an operational solution,” said Dave Gagnon, CEO and Chairman of the Board at Charbone. “We are proud to support a specialised 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.”
While Charbone is not disclosing the volume, duration, or financial terms of this commercial arrangement in order 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.
