With Japanese companies Chubu Electric Power and Chiyoda Corporation, Hazer Group has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a clean hydrogen and graphite production facility in Japan. This planned plant is expected to have a production capacity of 2,500 to 10,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year. (pv-magazine-australia.com, processonline.com.au)

MoU was signed with POSCO Steel to integrate Hazer’s hydrogen production technology into low-carbon steel production. This collaboration aims to reduce CO₂ emissions in the steel industry, which is responsible for a significant portion of global CO₂ emissions. (akbc.com.au)

Hazer has expanded its strategic partnership with Mitsui & Co. to explore markets for the graphite produced by Hazer. The graphite has various applications, including in steelmaking, thermal energy storage, and water treatment. (hotcopper.com.au, australianmanufacturing.com.au)

Additionally, Hazer Group is working with ENGIE (France), Suncor, and FortisBC Energy (Canada) on projects to use Hazer’s technology for clean hydrogen production for various industrial markets. (austrade.gov.au)
