In Australia, Hazer Group announced the start-up of its commercial demonstration plant (CDP) and first production of hydrogen and graphite. The company introduced feed gas to the reactor at Hazer process conditions today and subsequently achieved first hydrogen and Hazer-produced graphite at the facility. The performance testing program will focus on demonstrating continuous operation at a commercial scale and be leveraged into Hazer’s global commercial project portfolio. Hazer will provide updates as key results become available, the company said. Hazer’s CEO Glenn Corrie said: “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. 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.”
