Hazer Group and KBR Forge Global Alliance for Hazer Process Expansion
Key Ideas
- Hazer Group and KBR are progressing in their strategic alliance to accelerate the commercial deployment of the Hazer Process, with active workstreams in technology scale-up and marketing.
- KBR is now the exclusive global partner for Hazer's methane pyrolysis technology in ammonia and methanol markets, aiming for large-scale demand in hydrogen-intensive sectors.
- The Hazer Process offers a cost-competitive, low-emissions alternative to green hydrogen projects, utilizing existing gas networks and targeting industrial sectors with established infrastructure.
- Following a successful test program, demand for larger hydrogen production facilities is increasing, with potential customers eyeing capacities exceeding 50,000 tonnes per annum.
Hazer Group announced significant progress in its strategic alliance with Kellogg Brown and Root (KBR) aimed at accelerating the commercial deployment and licensing of the Hazer Process. The alliance has entered the execution phase, with active workstreams ongoing in technology scale-up, development, joint marketing, and customer engagement. An integrated team of experts spanning Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States is working collaboratively. KBR has been established as Hazer's exclusive global partner for marketing, licensing, and commercial deployment of its methane pyrolysis technology in the ammonia and methanol markets, with potential expansion into other hydrogen-intensive sectors. Hazer's CEO highlighted a shift away from green hydrogen projects due to cost and infrastructure challenges, positioning the Hazer Process as a cost-competitive, low-emissions alternative utilizing existing gas networks and avoiding the burdens of electrolysis. Leveraging KBR's global networks, the focus is now on targeting significant demand in ammonia and methanol production, industrial sectors where hydrogen is already utilized with existing infrastructure. Following the successful completion of the Commercial Demonstration Plant test program, there is a visible uptick in demand for larger-scale production facilities, with potential customers exploring capacities well above 50,000 tonnes of hydrogen production annually.
