CHARBONE TAPS AIR LIQUIDE VETERAN AHEAD OF FIRST REVENUE FROM FLAGSHIP PROJECT

Charbone Hydrogen Corp. has made a key addition to its clean ultrahigh-purity hydrogen production team as it prepares for first delivery at its flagship project in Sorel-Tracy, Que.

Strengthening clean UHP hydrogen production with new leadership

Charbone is pleased to welcome Jean Watelle, a seasoned engineer with more than 25 years of experience in technical and manufacturing management, including 11 years as director of hydrogen and site operations, large industries -- eastern region -- at Air Liquide Canada and five years in lean manufacturing and as a Tier 1 specialist for Chrysler and Ford. Recognized for his dynamism, creativity and deep expertise in continuous improvement methodologies, Mr. Watelle thrives on tackling ambitious challenges and delivering results through strong team collaboration.

Mr. Watelle's operational acumen will be instrumental as Charbone transitions its first project deployment to full-scale production. Working closely with Charbone's executive team, Mr. Watelle will support the operation and the management of clean UHP hydrogen production from projects across the United States and Canada.

"Jean's extensive experience in industrial gases, particularly in operations and production management, will significantly strengthen our team as we move from planning to execution," said Dave Gagnon, Charbone's chief executive officer and chairman of the board. "As we prepare to generate our first revenues from Sorel-Tracy, we are focused on increasing shareholder value through efficient operations and strategic growth."
