HydroGraph Clean Power (HG) has appointed Stuart Jara as its interim CEO and Kjirstin Breure as President and director.

These appointments represent a “major step forward” for the company as it works to achieve its operational goals.

Mr. Jara is a highly accomplished leader with a proven track record in both the capital markets and in the hydrogen/hydrocarbon gas industry. He has led a wide array of organizations in these sectors from mid-market, private-equity-owned entities to multinational enterprises.

Most recently, Mr. Jara was CEO of US-based Transform Materials, a company that has the technology to convert methane into clean hydrogen and clean chemicals.

HydroGraph expects Mr. Jara’s experience and relationships in the US and other international markets to be valuable as the company ramps up commercial operations.

“I look forward to advancing HydroGraph’s transformation into a commercial producer of graphene, other nanomaterials, and hydrogen, with their unique detonation technology,” said Mr. Jara.

Ms. Breure replaces David Morris, who has stepped down as President. Mr. Morris will remain a director of the company.

“I look forward to working with Mr. Jara, the board, and our industry leading team as HydroGraph takes its next step in growth,” said Ms. Breure. “I am confident that HydroGraph will quickly become a commercial success as a manufacturer of high-quality graphene, other nanomaterials, and hydrogen.”

Ms. Breure was appointed HydroGraph’s Chief Operating Officer in October 2020 and has overseen the company’s research and development, investor relations, and operations. She has ten years of experience in emerging technologies and portfolio management.

“As Chief Operating Offer, Ms. Breure worked closely with Mr. Davidson to make Hydrograph’s commercial transformation possible, which, combined with her background in materials science, make her a natural fit for the role of President and director,” said Mr. Jara.

HydroGraph is developing and commercializing a disruptive patented technology for the production of graphene, hydrogen, and other nanomaterials.

Shares in HydroGraph Clean Power (HG) are down 16.42 per cent, trading at $0.28 per share as of 12:11 pm EST.
