HydroGraph opens new Austin, Texas HQ for scale-up

HydroGraph Clean Power has announced the opening of its new Austin headquarters, having received its certificate of occupancy in March 2026. The new facility centralizes key executive and operating functions, as well as expands the Company’s research and production capabilities in support of continued growth activities.

“We are excited to officially open our new U.S. headquarters, a key milestone underpinning a substantial increase in our research, development and manufacturing capabilities,” said Kjirstin Breure, President and Chief Executive Officer of HydroGraph. “In addition to centralizing key administrative functions into Texas, our new office will facilitate a notable expansion of our R&D capabilities, the operation of two active Hyperion Reactors on site, and serve as the control hub for our planned large-scale production facility that is anticipated to support up to 350 tons per year of capacity.”

 

The Company is currently transitioning key equipment and resources from its Manhattan, KS facility to Austin, including scientific equipment, the detonation lab, Hyperion Reactors and other assets. The detonation lab and first new Hyperion unit, which was qualified in Manhattan prior to transport, have already arrived on site in Austin. The Company plans to commence a second phase of construction at its Austin facility to support integration of these and other assets plus new acetylene storage for its Hyperion units.

With the new headquarters, the Company is also now able to further expand its workforce, having hired multiple key positions recently, including a plant manager for its planned large-scale facility. The Company is actively recruiting a number of open positions, with plans for additional new roles throughout 2026 in line with its expansion and commercialization plans. 

“The Austin headquarters now serves as a central point for the growing HydroGraph team as we move forward on our 2026 goals, especially our growth strategies in manufacturing, commercial and government development,” said Breure. “Increasing recognition of graphene as a critical resource is driving new interest at the federal government level for a fully secured domestic supply not reliant on external feedstocks, such as graphite.”
