What Hazer Group does
Hazer Group Limited is an ASX-listed (ASX: HZR) technology development company headquartered in Perth, Australia, commercialising the proprietary Hazer Process — a methane pyrolysis technology that converts natural gas and similar feedstocks into hydrogen and high-quality synthetic graphite using iron ore as a low-cost process catalyst. The core chemistry avoids the CO2 emissions associated with conventional steam methane reforming, producing hydrogen at near-zero direct emissions while co-generating a saleable graphite byproduct with 85-95% carbon recovery efficiency (versus 70-85% for traditional anthracite). The company was founded at the University of Western Australia, listed on the ASX in December 2015 following an A$5M IPO, and has secured a substantial global patent portfolio with granted patents in the US, UK, and Japan.

Hazer Group competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Monolith Materials: US-based company operating a methane pyrolysis process to produce hydrogen and carbon black — the closest direct technological analogue to Hazer. Both target co-product economics from CH₄ decomposition to displace SMR hydrogen and conventional carbon products.
- C-Zero: Early-stage US company developing methane pyrolysis for low-emission hydrogen. Same core chemistry as Hazer (thermal decomposition of methane into H2 and solid carbon) and competing for industrial-scale clean hydrogen offtakers.
Broad incumbents
- Linde plc: Global industrial gases incumbent (hydrogen, oxygen, CO2) with extensive merchant and on-site hydrogen supply. Competes with Hazer for the same industrial hydrogen customers and is also developing proprietary low-carbon hydrogen production routes.
- Air Liquide: World's second-largest industrial gas company, supplying merchant hydrogen to steel, refining, chemicals, and electronics customers that overlap with Hazer's target segments. Has its own electrolyzer and blue hydrogen investments.
- Air Products and Chemicals: Major US-based industrial gas and hydrogen producer with large-scale blue and green hydrogen megaprojects. Directly competes for green-steel, ammonia, and mobility hydrogen offtakers Hazer is pursuing.
Emerging players
- ITM Power: UK-listed PEM electrolyzer manufacturer competing in the same clean-hydrogen market as Hazer, particularly for industrial and steel decarbonisation customers in Europe. Different technology route (electrolysis vs methane pyrolysis) but same end market.
- Nel ASA: Norwegian electrolyzer company pursuing industrial-scale green hydrogen projects. Competes with Hazer for industrial hydrogen offtakers and partnership opportunities with utilities, steel, and ammonia producers.
- thyssenkrupp nucera: German electrolyzer specialist targeting large-scale green hydrogen for steel, ammonia, and refining — directly competing with methane pyrolysis for the same industrial decarbonisation budget.
- Syrah Resources: Australia-listed natural graphite producer supplying battery and industrial customers that overlap with Hazer's graphite co-product off-take markets (EAF steel, lithium-ion batteries).
- Nouveau Monde Graphite: Canadian developer of high-purity natural graphite for battery and industrial markets — a potential substitute for Hazer's synthetic graphite in the same EAF recarburiser and energy storage applications.
