CHARBONE Hydrogen Announces Changes to Board of Directors

(TheNewswire)

Brossard, Québec TheNewswire – December 23, 2024 Charbone Hydrogen Corporation (TSXV: CH; OTCQB: CHHYF; FSE: K47) (the ‘Company’ or ‘CHARBONE’), North America’s only publicly traded pure-play green hydrogen company, is pleased to announce the nomination of Mr. Denis Crevier as a new Board member of Charbone, with immediate effect, in replacement of Mr. Mena Beshay, actual director of the Board of Charbone, ending his mandate.

Mr. Denis Crevier is a seasoned executive, corporate director and senior advisor with over 40 years of experience in developing, financing, and managing multisector infrastructure projects.

Mr. Crevier has held key management and project financing positions with AtkinsRéalis (previously SNC-Lavalin). Mr. Crevier has recently conducted strategic advisory mandates for private and public sector organisations, including the G20 Global Infrastructure Hub, SOFIAC and Plan A Capital. Mr. Crevier is active in policy development and advocacy for the inclusion of climate and biodiversity considerations in infrastructure investment through various engagements, including as a member of the Executive Committee and Advisory Board of the Cornell Program in Infrastructure Policy.

Mr. Crevier holds a Master of Laws from Harvard Law School, and he is member of the Bar of the Province of Quebec, as a retired lawyer.

As an accomplished senior executive and board member, Mr. Crevier will bring a remarkable complementary experience to the Board of CHARBONE.

We thank Mr. Beshay for his time and his significant involvement as a member of the Board and the Audit Committee. Mena was highly instrumental during his term, especially in the past year, as Charbone secured the recently announced convertible debenture and closed over 1.8M$ in equity financings. We understand that Mr. Beshay need to concentrate on his existing professional responsibilities and wish him great success in his endeavours.
