Hazer Group Ltd. (Perth, Australia) has entered into a collaboration arrangement with Veolia S.A. (Paris) to explore the deployment of the Hazer process and its co-products across a range of applications including water treatment, waste and energy management. This collaboration will investigate the Hazer process, which produces clean hydrogen from methane via catalytic pyrolysis, and evaluate the performance of the high-quality graphite co-product in various applications. The program will leverage Veolia’s world class expertise using standardized methods and suitably equipped laboratories, and adds to the growing range of industrial, energy and environmental uses being assessed for Hazer’s versatile graphite. Earlier this year, Hazer Group entered a partnership with global engineering firm KBR to accelerate the deployment of Hazer’s technologu.
The initiative forms part of Hazer Group’s graphite market development strategy, aimed at creating a diverse range of potential offtake markets and maximizing the value of Hazer’s unique graphite product across multiple industries.
Hazer’s CEO and MD Glenn Corrie said: “We are delighted to partner with Veolia, a world leading solutions provider to the water, waste and energy industries. This unique collaboration will allow us to investigate how Hazer’s technology, producing low-emissions hydrogen and graphite, can solve some of the most pressing challenges facing the water and waste industry today through the integration with Veolia’s existing operations.”
