Charette elaborated on the multifaceted agreement, emphasizing the benefits it brings to Charbone's ambitious project. The MOU facilitates key aspects of project development, including negotiating with local authorities, aiding in the final site selection process, and providing vital permitting support for activities related to the establishment of Charbone's first U.S.-based hydrogen facility.

This collaborative effort is designed to accelerate the realization of Charbone's vision of establishing a network of green hydrogen production facilities across the North American market. Simultaneously, Charbone is actively raising capital, emphasizing the resilience of its management team and a refocused business plan. The funds will support the completion of a project in Quebec, Canada, set to produce green hydrogen by the first semester of 2024.
