The Austin facility is designed to provide up to 30\ntons per year of pristine graphene production capacity to support HydroGraph's\ncommercialization and customer engagement efforts across a range of industrial\napplications.\n\n“Central Texas has always been a place where big ideas become real-world\nsolutions,” said Representative Carter. “I'm pleased to welcome HydroGraph\nhome to Texas, where they can continue their innovative research, support\nAmerica's warfighters and make an immense impact on the aerospace,\ninfrastructure and advanced manufacturing industries.”\n\nSeparately, the Company continues development of its recently announced\ncommercial-scale Bellville, Texas manufacturing facility\n(https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=n0l68E69bgWKHrYxWcCMB0dEu8K_5k0dKXW3tK5NGRR5Yv6gSQecB4SVySkgxTKF0C2-AC-WwJjEIUoiB0FXHuoITvJCxkQhxYEiBAoxA_ZgZ0DuuFIT6qKuvzvmFP7I7fyD3ltBkQq2wvqkscMfaxD3cks370XlnEyhzRMcF9iX10wsnRDaNSAAL6tVaM45ku2JKGogojHzUUdplvs-AQ==),\nexpected to begin operations in 2027.\n\nBy producing graphene in Texas using hydrocarbon feedstocks, HydroGraph aims\nto support the development of a more resilient domestic supply chain for\nadvanced materials. The expanded manufacturing platform is intended to support\ncustomer demand across a range of markets, including defense, energy storage,\ninfrastructure, composites, advanced manufacturing, and other industrial\napplications.\n\nAs governments increasingly prioritize resilient domestic supply chains for\ncritical materials, graphene is expected to play an important role in advanced\nmanufacturing and national security applications(1). HydroGraph has increased\nits federal focused advocacy throughout 2026 and recently called on the U.S.\ngovernment to designate graphene a critical material\n(https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=3tN1kkF8vOLkiKaGi3HXs7TNVjdEA2AtkMLNnffkzEHceHZwdogrjXzoH1V9oMGUqoCeVIZ-jnb0TG7Nd535R0YiTsJj0uYPuvKnJK_n5oCGn7Xe5vyDnBeGBDwpRlSsTSbs3lS2NAjUJN04UW_Yfv8_GxBLYDCn1vBMD09ItALf6y6vvHf7nBP6Z5cbiCCVoo57kujpMOlTJm2TnxsEMFvTu9CgRKgUPCpd1k7HlnLX-sIUNj07nNypYroIhQ0CX9xWspA4ZAvYyGHPFFW6Xw==)\nunder the Defense Production Act.

Our investment in\nTexas positions HydroGraph to meet growing demand while helping establish a\nsecure domestic supply chain for advanced graphene materials,” said Kjirstin\nBreure, President and Chief Executive Officer of HydroGraph.\n\nDuring the tour, Congressman John Carter previewed HydroGraph’s\nmanufacturing process and met with HydroGraph’s leadership to discuss the\nrole advanced materials can play in strengthening the U.S. defense industrial\nbase, supporting American manufacturing, and reducing dependence on\nforeign-controlled supply chains.\n\nCurrently, much of the world’s graphene production depends on graphite\nsourced overseas, and in particular China(2). HydroGraph’s manufacturing\nprocess takes a different approach. Instead, the Company’s technology\nconverts domestically sourced hydrocarbon feedstocks directly into pristine\nsynthetic graphene, creating a domestic production capability that supports\nsupply chain resilience and long-term industrial competitiveness.\n\nThe opening of HydroGraph’s Texas headquarters and continued development of\nits Bellville manufacturing facility mark important milestones in the\nCompany's strategy to build one of North America’s leading commercial\ngraphene production platforms.\n\nAbout HydroGraph\n\nHydroGraph is a leading producer of pristine graphene using its proprietary\nHyperion Reactor\n(https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=cPqJd4BayXs_wqk58_XNtWXMQgs5O1R_HEDaOm8n_oGynSIh2J8UnK-bOpwDni0ztxAnXG6Xcrvq1xw8UiZbOY2E1oq6N3fkzOLpLbKASVY=)\ntechnology, which allows for ultra-high purity, low energy use, and uniform\nbatches.
