About HydroGraph
WHAT WE DO
The HydroGraph Graphene Revolution
HydroGraph is a commercial manufacturer of ultra-pure graphene via detonation synthesis, the only method in the industry proven to deliver graphene at true production scale, with the purity and consistency that downstream applications actually require.
HydroGraph’s patented technology uniquely positions the company for multiple high-growth markets in the production of graphene and other strategic materials.
Our Commercial Production Pathway
Graphene has been a material of enormous promise and limited practicality: hard to produce at scale, harder to produce consistently. Our founding technology changes that.Â
The process originated with Dr. Chris Sorensen’s research at Kansas State University and was patented in 2016 for high-yield graphene production via detonation synthesis. That patent – along with a growing portfolio covering nonmaterial production, downstream applications, and clean energy – is the technical foundation HydroGraph was built on.Â
Our proprietary Hyperion Reactor is modular and scalable, and runs on the lowest energy input in the industry with no process waste. Dr. Sorensen now serves as our Founding Scientist, continuing the same work that started this company.Â
2014 Science Breakthrough
Kansas State University's Dr. Chris Sorensen, who today serves as our Founding Scientist discovered our proprietary detonation synthesis process for producing high-quality graphene.
2016 Patented Technology
The 2016 patent for the high-yield production of graphene via detonation is the founding technology for HydroGraph. Additionally, the HydroGraph portfolio now includes patents and patent applications related to nanomaterial production and applications.
2017 Company Formation
HydroGraph formed to fund and commercialize the manufacturing of graphene and other strategic materials.
2021 Capital Raise
Private placement of $7.5M by Investment Houses PowerOne and Haywood. Groundbreaking launches for a production and commercialization facility in Manhattan, Kansas. Company lists as HydroGraph Clean Power on the CSE.
2023 Pivot to Commercial
HydroGraph develops its strategy to transition from development to commercial, with a goal to become a top on-shore supplier of graphene to the Western World.
2024 - 2026 Partner Development
Focus on development partnerships in composites, coatings, energy storage, and other verticals to build the case for integrating graphene at industrial scale.
2026 Headquarters Consolidation and Large-Scale Manufacturing
HydroGraph relocates its headquarters to Austin and signs with Western International for bulk feedstock supply and land to construct the first large-scale manufacturing facility in Texas, estimated at more than 360 tons per year of production, expandable to more than 750 tons per year.
INNOVATION
A Virtuous Cycle
Our development labs located in Austin, TX provide an R&D workspace near the manufacturing and production process to create a virtuous cycle of future innovation and product development.
FIRST IN AMERICAS FOR CERTIFICATION
The highest standards
The Advanced Carbons Council Verified Graphene Producer® certification is the only credential with independent 3rd 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 the third company overall and the only graphene producer in the Americas to be certified.
What's Next
The number of industries graphene can transform is effectively unlimited. Our focus is scaling production to meet that demand – without compromising the purity that makes our material different in the first place.Â
