2016 ACHIEVEMENTS & HIGHLIGHTS
- MoU with Pan American Hydrogen (Nov 2016)
-
Executed MoU with Pan American Hydrogen, a US-based global supplier of hydrogen production infrastructure
-
Commitment to jointly develop Hazer technology for commercial deployment across the hydrogen market
-
Initial focus on small (100kg/day) production, with scope to include larger units as required
“We are impressed by the commercial opportunity that the Hazer Process represents for production of hydrogen with a lower CO2 footprint, which we see as critical for the ongoing market application of hydrogen in global energy markets. We also see great potential for Hazer to offer the lowest cost hydrogen production technology globally, as hydrogen costs can be significantly reduced by credits from graphite sales, even at graphite values significantly below current market values”

REDUCED RISK TOWARDS SCALE-UP
Reduced Commercial Risk
Natural gas to hydrogen conversion is currently done on industrial scale (steam methane reformation - SMR)
Majority of SMR plant infrastructure would be similar for Hazer Process based production plant
Hazer will review the potential to retrofit Hazer reactor into existing SMR-based production plants
Reduced Technical Risk
Core chemistry (catalytic decomposition of methane) has previously been developed to pilot plant scale
Technical issues for scale up of Hazer process have been addressed in comparable systems
Hazer’s core innovation is use of low cost catalyst that addresses the underlying economic barrier to technology development
==> picture [45 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
POTENTIAL COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
LOWER COST PRODUCTION ACCESS TO BILLION DOLLAR MARKETS
CLEAN HYDROGEN NEW MARKETS FOR ENERGY
By capturing both the hydrogen and carbon (graphite) value of natural gas, the Hazer Process can potentially offer lower net production costs for these markets.

==> picture [124 x 100] intentionally omitted <==
By producing hydrogen with lower CO2 emissions, the Hazer Process can potentially produce “clean” hydrogen for the growing clean energy hydrogen market.
==> picture [125 x 100] intentionally omitted <==
PROCESS VERSATILITY
ACCESS TO LOW COST INPUTS
The Hazer Process has potential to be used to capture value from a wide range of resources, including “stranded” gas assets.
