HydroGraph Becomes First Company in Americas To Receive Graphene Council's Verified Graphene Producer® Certification

HydroGraph Clean Power Inc. (HG.CN) (the " Company " or " HydroGraph "), a commercial manufacturer of high-quality nanomaterials and alternative-energy fuels, has announced that it has received The Graphene Council's Verified Graphene Producer ® certification. This certification is the only credential that includes independent 3 rd party in-person inspections of graphene production facilities, verification of production methods and volumes, and quality control processes based on the Graphene Classification Framework (GCF). HydroGraph is currently the third company to be certified globally and the only company in the Americas to be certified.

"We are thrilled to now be certified by The Graphene Council, validating what we already know," said Stuart Jara, HydroGraph chief executive officer. "The HydroGraph patented process is unique in that it achieves 99.8% pure graphene in identical batches at both the lowest cost and the most environmentally friendly manner due to its low energy consumption and absence of emissions."

"A strong congratulations to HydroGraph on achieving this important milestone and to be the first company in the Americas to do so," said Terrance Barkan, executive director of The Graphene Council. "Customers can have confidence that HydroGraph is a reliable and capable partner to supply bona fide high purity graphene materials. They are an impressive team with an innovative process to produce graphene materials at scale."

Graphene Council 3

HydroGraph CEO, Stuart Jara is joined by CSO, Dr. Ranjith Divigalpitiya and President, Kjirstin Breure in Birmingham, UK, on Tuesday as they accept the Graphene Council's Verified Graphene Producer ^® Certification. HydroGraph is the first company in the Americas to receive this certification.

The Verified Graphene Producer ^® certification was developed by the subject matter experts from academia, producers, users, and regulators in a robust, multi-stage peer review process consisting of five key components:

Key graphene material characteristics
Preferred methods of testing
Range of measurement values
Syntax to describe forms of graphene
Technical data sheet template

As graphene is rapidly being used as part of the burgeoning global advanced materials sector, a tremendous inconsistency in the graphene manufacturing process has emerged in terms of quality. Despite the progress made with several standards and best practices, there remains a lack of understanding regarding the family of materials referred to collectively as ‘graphene'. The Graphene Council provides a transparent method of classifying and comparing any form of graphene in a framework that can be used equally by producers, users, or regulators.

HydroGraph Clean Power Receives Grant for Work at Fraunhofer Innovation Platform for Composites Research

HydroGraph Clean Power Inc. (CSE: HG) ("HydroGraph" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has secured a $90,000 grant in funding per year for two years for composite work at the Fraunhofer Innovation Platform for Composite Research at Western University.

With the increasing impact of Greenhouse Gas emissions on climate change, there is growing interest in alternatives to internal combustion engines. This research will study HydroGraph's graphene in thermoset resins to understand the effect of filler material on mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. The results will provide valuable information that will help increase the supply and use of graphene for applications that require lightweight and superior mechanical and energy properties.

What Factors Impact Graphene Cost? (Updated 2024)

Graphene has the potential to spur advances in a variety of sectors, from transport to medicine to electronics. Unfortunately, the high cost of graphene production has slowed commercialization.

Graphene prices have come down substantially in the past decade, when it reportedly cost tens of thousands of dollars to make a piece of high-quality graphene the size of a postage stamp.

However, the 21st century wonder material remains expensive. Specific graphene pricing data is hard to come by, but relatively recent estimates peg the commercial cost of graphene in a range of US$100 to US$400 per gram. The wide variance is mainly because price is congruent with quality and not all applications require the highest-quality graphene.
