Hazer and KBR to study 300,000-tonne hydrogen plant for Japanese utility
In the UK, Fuel Cells Works reported that Hazer Group announced the Hazer-KBR Alliance has entered into a binding agreement with a leading Japanese power generation and energy utility for a paid study to evaluate the integration and potential deployment of Hazer’s methane pyrolysis technology into its power generation portfolio in Japan.
The agreement marks the first KBR-led commercial engagement secured since completion of the Process Design Package in April 2026, highlighting the alliance’s ability to convert commercial marketing activity into paid customer studies. The agreement further expands Hazer’s strategic presence in Japan and adds to the growing portfolio of commercial-scale opportunities being advanced under the Hazer-KBR Alliance, according to the report.
Hazer’s CEO and MD Glenn Corrie said: “This is a large-scale opportunity with a strategic customer that underscores the potential for Hazer technology to be deployed at significant commercial scale. Securing another revenue-generating study under the Hazer-KBR Alliance demonstrates the growing commercial momentum of the partnership and the strong application potential for Hazer’s technology across the Japanese market. We look forward to working with our Japanese customer and KBR to progress this important study and demonstrate the potential for methane pyrolysis to deliver scalable, commercially competitive low-emissions hydrogen to the clean power sector.”
The study will assess hydrogen production capacities of 30,000 and 300,000 tons per annum and is expected to be completed by year-end, the report added.
