Canadian energy company Charbone Hydrogen Corporation (Charbone) is expanding its core hydrogen portfolio by offering other industrial gases, such as helium.
The news is part of two newly signed supply deals with a US industrial gas business, which Charbone has described as a tier one player.
The first agreement will allow Charbone to access certain volumes of hydrogen ahead of its own production, while the second agreement will enable the company to expand its logistics and transportation operations to support a broader range of customers.
Both deals were signed with the same unnamed industrial gas player.
Dave Gagnon, CEO of Charbone, said the partnership and commercial agreements provide the company with new diversification opportunities.
Last month, Charbone announced a partnership with ABB, through which it plans to develop up to 15 green hydrogen facilities across North America over the next five years, with a first project located in Québec, Canada.
The first facility – with a capacity of 400kg of hydrogen a day in its first phase – is scheduled to go live by the end of June and will be a blueprint for future projects.
