Carbonxt Group Ltd (CG1) (Carbonxt or “Company”) is one of the few ASX-listed cleantech companies. It is a United States-focused company producing advanced carbon products. It innovates activated carbon solutions and services for partner utility companies. Carbonxt’s activated carbon products focus on eliminating toxic compounds from industrial wastewater steams and gases to reduce pollution and corrosion.

A Trip Down Memory Lane – Carbonxt

Launched in 2006, Carbonxt first identified mercury from coal power plants as a market for the Company’s activated carbon products and began efforts toward this application. In the subsequent years, after heavy R&D efforts, Carbonxt successfully tailored its products to suit individual customers’ requirements, that is, individual customers’ mercury emission levels.

In 2010, Carbonxt initiated testing of their oxidizing, non-brominated formula and developed a full-scale field-testing program by 2012. As a result of this, Carbonxt was able to develop strategic partnerships focused on their activated carbon products since 2013.

Since then, Carbonxt has continued the development of unique products and entered several markets away from mercury capture. Carbonxt now focuses on developing premium engineered sorbents that utilize proprietary manufacturing methods to develop environmental solutions singular to each customer. The company now has a comprehensive portfolio that is dedicated to helping companies meet environmental compliance guidelines.

Product Portfolio – Carbonxt

Carbonxt’s high-performance activated carbon products are dedicated to helping their partners meet environmental compliance guidelines. Carbonxt offers solutions in five primary industries.
