Its roles Technology licensor Technology / equipment supplier
Hazer Group Ltd is an Australian technology company focused on producing low‑emission hydrogen and solid carbon via methane pyrolysis. Its proprietary Hazer Process converts methane from natural gas or biogas into hydrogen and graphitic carbon using an iron‑ore catalyst, aiming to reduce the CO₂ intensity associated with conventional hydrogen production. Hazer Group is listed on the ASX (HZR) and is based in Western Australia.
The company’s activities span process development, pilot and demonstration operations, and product qualification for end uses in energy and materials markets. Co‑produced carbon is targeted for applications where graphitic or conductive carbon materials are utilised. Hazer operates a commercial demonstration plant in Western Australia to validate scale‑up, process efficiency, and product performance, and pursues commercialization through partnerships and potential technology licensing.

Plans target 20,000 t/yr hydrogen and ~60,000 t/yr graphite using methane decomposition; ties into MESH long‑duration storage to capture surplus wind power and cut emissions.
The MOU aims to assess the feasibility of integrating methane pyrolysis in operations, with potential for technology licensing and product offtake if initial results are positive.
Six projects vie for $2 billion under Hydrogen Headstart, with BP, CIP and a Porsche‑backed venture shortlisted; final bids due late June ahead of 2024 winners.
Japanese utilities and engineering group to develop a hydrogen and graphitic‑carbon plant in Nagoya region; initial 10,000 tpa with scope to scale to 50–100k tpa under a licence and catalyst supply deal.
RTR trial hit ~1.5 kg/day unpurified graphite with co-produced hydrogen; partner funds pilot and secures IP access; path set to 100 tpa then 1,000 tpa+ commercial stages.
