Hazer Group (ASX:HZR) and FortisBC Energy engaged Hazer's global alliance partner, Kellogg, Brown & Root, to fast-track their clean hydrogen project in British Columbia, Canada, according to a Monday Australian bourse filing.

The company is expected to expedite site-specific development engineering, refine project economics, and assess economies of scale, the filing said. The proposed facility is expected to have a design capacity of up to 2,500 tonnes per year of clean hydrogen.

Hazer and FortisBC are also finalizing the commercial framework for the next phase of the project development.
