First Graphene and Kainos Innovation receive UK Government grant for route to green hydrogen and battery grade materials

First Graphene, in collaboration with Kainos Innovation, has been awarded a grant by the UK Government to progress the development of an innovative route to green hydrogen and battery grade materials.

The grant was awarded by Innovate UK under the UK’s Sustainable Innovation fund for the progression of unique process technology invented and patented by Kainos Innovation which directly converts low-cost hydrocarbon feedstocks to graphene materials and hydrogen gas. The technology requires the expertise of First Graphene to prototype manufacturing scale-up and commercial application development.

First Graphene has a worldwide, exclusive license to commercially exploit the technology.
