Each whole warrant allows the purchase of one common share at $0.24 for 36 months after closing.

The proceeds will fund application development at the Graphene Engineering Innovation Center (GEIC), production upscaling, business development, and working capital. The offering is expected to close around December 11th, 2024, subject to regulatory approvals. The company reserves the right to increase the offering size by up to 30% based on market conditions.

HydroGraph Clean Power Inc (CSE: HG, OTCQB: HGRAF) has announced a non-brokered private placement offering to raise up to $2 million through the sale of units at $0.16 each. Each unit includes one common share and half of a warrant, with each full warrant exercisable at $0.24 for 36 months. The company may increase the offering size by up to 30%.

The proceeds will support commercialization efforts at the Graphene Engineering Innovation Center, production upscaling, business development, and working capital. The offering is expected to close around December 6th, 2024, subject to regulatory approvals. A four-month hold period will apply to the securities.

HydroGraph Clean Power announced two strategic partnerships in battery materials. The first collaboration with NEI , signed on November 18, 2024, focuses on developing graphene-enhanced battery materials, featuring co-branded products and positioning NEI as a key channel partner. The second partnership with Volfpack Energy, also signed on November 18, 2024, aims to create next-generation supercapacitors using HydroGraph's fractal graphene technology. Initial testing showed a 4x increase in capacitance compared to standard versions. The development roadmap includes lab-scale production in Q1 2025, followed by pilot-scale production later that year.

HydroGraph Clean Power has received a purchase order from a major global automotive company for research quantities of four additional graphene products, including pristine functionalizations and novel formulations. This order expands their ongoing automotive composite improvement program from earlier in 2024. The global automotive composites market is projected to grow at a 12.1% CAGR, reaching USD 26.1 billion by 2033. Additionally, HydroGraph has appointed Darrow Associates for investor relations services at a monthly fee of USD 9,000, focusing on developing and managing investor relations programs.

HydroGraph Clean Power has appointed Kjirstin Breure as permanent Chief Executive Officer. Breure, who has served as board director and president since January 2022 and interim CEO since March 2024, will continue to oversee the company's long-term strategy and operational initiatives. The appointment comes during a period of growth, following the recent addition of Tom Eldridge as director of business development and breakthrough developments in PET research. Board Chairman David Williams praised Breure's strategic vision, leadership, and commercial focus, highlighting her impact on application development, scientific programs, and building a commercial pipeline for significant graphene sales.

HydroGraph Clean Power has announced a breakthrough in sustainable plastic packaging with its Fractal Graphene powder (FGA-1). Tests at the Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre showed that adding just 0.006 wt-% of graphene to PET bottles enhances performance significantly. When applied to a 50:50 blend of virgin PET and rPET, the technology delivers 23% improvement in top-load strength, potential 20% weight reduction, and 83% decrease in water vapor transmission. This innovation comes as the global PET industry faces regulatory pressure to increase recycled content, with potential to reduce plastic usage by 5 million tonnes annually and cut CO2 emissions by 8 million tonnes if fully commercialized.

HydroGraph Clean Power and the University of Manchester's Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre (GEIC) have announced an extension of their research partnership, which was initially established in September 2023. The collaboration focuses on nanomaterials research, particularly in applications including lubricants, composites, resins, coatings, and energy storage. To support the rapid R&D growth, HydroGraph has added Dr. Anika Shakil to its research team, strengthening their capabilities in graphene innovation and real-world applications.

HydroGraph Clean Power Inc. (CSE: HG) (OTCQB: HGRAF) has been awarded the Business Innovation Award at the 2024 To The Stars: Kansas Business Awards, hosted by the Kansas Department of Commerce. The award recognizes HydroGraph's leadership in cutting-edge graphene technology and its contributions to the state's economy and communities.

The company stood out among 346 nominations across nine categories for its groundbreaking work in graphene technology, setting new industry standards for innovation and sustainability. HydroGraph's president and interim CEO, Kjirstin Breure, emphasized the company's dedication to innovation, highlighted by recent patent applications filed in the US and globally.

In addition to this achievement, HydroGraph recently announced the filing of two new US patent applications for graphene-coated hollow glass microsphere technology (HGMS), further demonstrating its commitment to advancing material science and expanding possibilities in the graphene market.
