Clean technology developer Hazer Group started production of hydrogen and graphite at Commercial Demonstration Plant (CDP) on Wednesday, by introducing feed gas to the reactor at Hazer process conditions.
The research service firm said it expects an increase in its operational capacity through the first half of 2024, while ensuring safe execution of performance testing program. Additionally, performance testing program will focus on demonstration of continuous operation at a commercial scale.
“This is a landmark achievement for Hazer, as we realize the successful start-up of our CDP and the production of low-cost, low-emissions hydrogen and graphitic carbon utilizing our world-first pyrolysis technology,” said Glenn Corrie, Executive Chief of Hazer Group.
“As the team strive towards extended continuous operation of the plant in 2024 we are excited to build on this momentum for the next scale-up of the technology with our global partners in key markets, including North America, Europe and Asia,” added Corrie.
Founded in 2010, Hazer Group to commercialize technology developed at the University of Western Australia. The firm looks to de-carbonization efforts with the commercialization of the company’s disruptive world-leading climate tech.
Hazer uses unique technology to enable the production of clean and economically competitive hydrogen and high-quality graphite, using a natural gas (or biogas) feedstock and iron ore as the process catalyst.
Commercial Demonstration Plant (CDP) situated in Perth, Western Australia. The plan is designed to produce graphite and hydrogen. The plant aims to demonstrate continuous operation at a commercial scale.
