HydroGraph and GEIC Expand Collaboration through Tier 1 Membership

Executive Summary

• HydroGraph Clean Power Inc. upgrades its collaboration with the Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre (GEIC) at The University of Manchester from Tier 2 to Tier 1, establishing a dedicated laboratory and broader access to GEIC facilities.
• The expanded partnership supports a commercial pipeline of >75 graphene‑enhanced projects across medical devices, composites, coatings, etc., and aligns with HydroGraph’s plan to scale production to full commercial capacity in 2026 (new reactors and Texas facility).
• Deeper collaboration is expected to accelerate joint projects from lab validation to industrial trials and strengthen ties with strategic partners such as the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL).

Key Details

• Tier Upgrade: HydroGraph moves from Tier 2 to Tier 1 membership in GEIC, granting dedicated laboratory space and expanded access to university resources.
• Commercial Pipeline: Over 75 projects in development leveraging HydroGraph’s pristine graphene for applications in medical devices, composites, coatings, energy storage, printing, etc.
• Production Scale‑up: Current output ~1 ton per month; plan to reach full commercial scale during 2026 as additional reactors come online and a new facility opens in Texas.
• Strategic Partnerships: Enhanced collaboration with U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) to explore North American opportunities.
