Carbonxt Group Ltd (ASX:CG1) (“Carbonxt” or “the Company”) has released its Appendix 4C Report for the March 2024 Quarter and provides the following update on the key areas of activity for the period — all numbers are in A$.

Highlights

• Customer receipts for the March quarter were $3.6m – an increase of 8% on the prior quarter.
• Sales of Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) were consistent q/q and up 56% on the prior comparative period due to increased sales in non-coal fired power station channels. This outcome has been a deliberate effort of the Company to improve manufacturing efficiencies and increase gross margins.
• Sales of Activated Carbon Pellets (ACP) were up 37% on the prior quarter.
• Construction of the flagship Activated Carbon production facility in Kentucky, USA is now focused on commissioning activities, with operations expected to commence early in Q3 CY2024.
• Post quarter-end, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released an important update on PFAS regulation, with the introduction of legally enforceable rules that limit PFAS levels to 4 parts per trillion (ppt) in US drinking water.

Carbonxt is a cleantech company that develops and manufactures environmental technologies to maintain compliance with air and water emission requirements and to remove harmful pollutants. The Company’s primary operations are in the US and include a significant R&D focus as well as manufacturing plants for activated carbon pellets and powder activated carbon. Carbonxt continues to expand its pellet product portfolio to address numerous industrial applications.

Managing Director Warren Murphy commented: “The March quarter marked another busy period for Carbonxt’s US team, as final construction activity at the flagship Kentucky facility approaches completion ahead of commissioning and first production. The new facility will provide the Company with a significantly expanded production capacity for Activated Carbon products in both granular and pellet form, marking an important step forward as part of our commitment to play a key role in the provision of market-ready products to improve the quality of US water supplies. The industry continues to enjoy strong policy and regulatory support at the federal government level, highlighted by the latest EPA announcement confirming the new legally enforceable standard for PFAS levels in US drinking water. We look forward to providing consistent updates on Kentucky in the June quarter as final construction works are completed ahead of the commencement of full production operations which are scheduled for early in the September quarter.”
