The present invention provides an energy, time and cost effective method of manufacturing carrier material with all required physico-chemical properties for effective catalyst distribution. The method involves dissolving precursor material such as glycine in water, adding and mixing surfactant and catalyst salt solution. The mixture is pre-heated to a temperature in the range of 60 to 700C for about 30 minutes and heated to a final temperature in the range of 280 to 3500C for 2 to 5 minutes. The formed product is heat treated in an inert atmosphere, cooled down to room temperature and stored. The catalyzed carbon will be useful as carrier material carbon for the chemicals, pharmaceuticals and fuel cell industries and also useful to prepare various catalysts with carbon as a carrier material.
