In so many ways pure carbon will become important for our future. Its unique properties, make it the most important element on the periodic table, if only because it forms the fundamental scaffold upon which known life in the universe is based. Science is now just starting to scratch the surface of the boundless ways to make that same unique versatility, industrially useful.
In the not too distant future, when we talk about the carbon economy, we won't be talking about carbon abatement, we will be talking about elemental carbon and its many low and high tech uses, but also how to best source the high quantities of pure or near pure carbon required by advanced industrialised economies. Where Hazer fits in, is a no-brainer.
