CDP REACTOR SUCCESSFULLY COMMISSIONED
PAVING WAY FOR FIRST HYDROGEN EARLY Q1 2024
Highlights
• Reactor successfully commissioned to full operating temperature and pressure
• CDP ready to receive feed gas with first hydrogen production targeted for early Q1 CY2024
• CDP performance test program building towards continuous operation in H1 CY2024
PERTH, AUSTRALIA; 21 December 2023: Hazer Group Ltd ("Hazer" or "the Company") (ASX: HZR) is pleased to
announce that the reactor has been successfully hot commissioned and the Company’s Commercial
Demonstration Plant (“CDP”) is being prepared for operational start-up and hydrogen production. The CDP is a
world-first commercial demonstration of Hazer’s technology, converting natural gas into clean, low-cost
hydrogen and solid graphite using iron-ore as a process catalyst.
The successful commissioning of the reactor and furnace equipment to full operating conditions is a significant
milestone that de-risks plant start-up by providing confidence in the equipment selection for demonstration at
commercial scale. With the balance of plant already successfully commissioned, the schedule is progressing
exceptionally well.
As previously announced (21 November 2023), the CDP will use the planned shutdown over Christmas/New Year
to cool the reactor and allow the first solids charge to be installed in the vessel. Final instrumentation checks
will be also performed to prepare the plant for the safe introduction of feed gas targeted during January 2024.
The plant will then be phased into start-up with subsequent production of hydrogen and graphite early Q1/2024
followed by continuous operation to occur through Q1/Q2 CY2024. Details of the CDP performance testing
program will be provided following start-up with data from the program to be leveraged into Hazer’s global
commercial project portfolio.
Hazer’s MD & CEO Glenn Corrie said, “We are pleased to successfully reach the key milestone of commissioning
our reactor to operating conditions and passing a major hurdle in demonstration of our innovative technology.
The reactor is at the core of delivering our process technology and having it now ready for operation is a
significant de-risking event for our CDP and technology commercialisation strategy. I look forward to providing
an update that first production of hydrogen and Hazer graphite has been achieved and more importantly
providing the results of our test program to validate commercial readiness”.
