Hazer Group Ltd has reported progress in its strategic alliance with global engineering firm Kellogg Brown & Root LLC, aimed at accelerating the commercialisation and global licensing of Hazer’s methane pyrolysis technology.
Under the binding Alliance Agreement signed in May 2025, KBR serves as Hazer’s exclusive global partner for the marketing, licensing, and deployment of the Hazer Process to customers in the ammonia and methanol sectors. In return, Hazer is KBR’s exclusive methane pyrolysis technology provider worldwide.
In a news release, Hazer CEO Glenn Corrie said the alliance was showing strong early momentum, with growing interest from potential licensees and customers.
“We are pleased with the early momentum in our alliance with KBR,” Corrie said. “The marketing campaign is gaining traction, and KBR’s presence at major industry conferences is already generating interest from prospective licensees. The inclusion of the Hazer Process in KBR’s Net Zero portfolio is a strong endorsement of our technology and its relevance to global decarbonisation efforts.”
He added that the partnership was proving instrumental in advancing the company’s commercialisation goals.
“KBR’s reputation, global reach and execution capability are proving invaluable as we move through our commercialisation phase,” Corrie said. “We remain focused on delivering licensing outcomes and building a robust pipeline of industrial-scale projects.”
Since finalising the agreement, the ASX-listed company said the joint Hazer-KBR team has progressed work on commercial scale-up, technology development, and customer engagement.
It noted that the companies are developing a comprehensive Process Design Package (PDP) to support feasibility studies for potential customers, with major design components now agreed upon. The PDP is expected to be completed in early 2026, forming the basis for detailed feasibility assessments.
Hazer also stated that KBR has begun leading a global marketing and licensing campaign, supported by a team of more than 80 sales professionals. Promotional materials have been tailored for customers in the ammonia and methanol sectors, highlighting the Hazer Process as a scalable, cost-competitive clean hydrogen solution.
The Hazer Process has now been incorporated into KBR’s Net Zero and Sustainable Future technology portfolio, alongside KBR’s clean ammonia, hydrogen, and carbon capture solutions.
According to Hazer, its methane pyrolysis process offers a low-cost, low-emissions pathway to hydrogen and synthetic graphite using an iron ore catalyst and scalable reactor design.
Hazer noted that hydrogen is a key feedstock in ammonia and methanol production, which together account for more than half of current global hydrogen demand.
The company said these markets, valued at around USD120 billion, are highly emissions-intensive, contributing more than 500 million tonnes of CO2 annually.
