Published On: October 13th, 2023
Carbonxt Group Limited (ASX:CG1) (“Carbonxt” or the “Company”), the leading Cleantech Company directed by Managing Director Mr Warren Murphy, shared trading and operation updates for the period ended on September 30th, 2023. The Company expects the receipt from its customers for the three months ended on September 30th, 2023, amounting to AUD 5.3 million, which is an increase of 124% on the previous quarter and a 5% increase on the same period last year.
The numbers align with the projection made in the last ASX announcement. Carbonxt witnessed sales momentum backed by solid demand for PAC products, majorly from the Company’s client base of power generation companies who increased their inventory quotas during the period.
Carbonxt Group Limited also expects to demonstrate cost savings due to streamlining the operation at its existing Activated Carbon Production (ACP) facility to ramp up the construction and development of its state-of-the-art ACP facility, NewCarbon LLC, in Kentucky. This is intended to be a 50% owned operation with a US-based partner, Kentucky Carbon Processing (KCP).
Operation Update
At the Kentucky facility, work programs are advancing per the schedule and are monitored by Dr David Mazyck. They are delivering complete focus on NewCarbon, LLC following the appointment of Dr Regina Rodriguez as Chief Executive Officer of the group’s US Subsidiary, Carbonxt Inc.
The delivery of construction equipment has been progressing consistently in recent weeks and is expected to be confirmed as delivered to the site before the end of October 2023. This milestone will enable the payment transfer of USD 500,000 from Carbonxt to NewCarbon, LLC, per the terms of the agreement between KCP and NewCarbon, LLC.
This proposed plant is expected to produce initially 10,000 tons per annum of high-grade activated carbon products. As per the US Environmental Protection Agency’s strategic roadmap to protect public health from Per- and Polyfluorinated Substances (PFAS) from water supplies, activated carbon products will play a key role in water treatment and air purification processes for multiple sectors. The new production plant also enables Carbonxt to expand in a fast-growing market.
Managing Director’s comment
Managing Director Mr Warren Murphy expressed pleasure by saying that the rebound in quarterly sales receipts aligns with the Company’s previous guidance. He shared that construction activity is ramping up at the Kentucky facility.
He said, “The procurement of necessary equipment has been a multi-month process and well-managed by KCP and our on-site team. We look forward to providing detailed updates on the plant’s development during the December quarter.”
