ASX-listed Carbonxt Group Limited (ASX:CG1) has announced an extension to the closing date of its share purchase plan, initially announced in February 2025. The new closing date is 3 April 2025.

Kentucky Plant Commissioning Set to Drive Revenue Growth
The Kentucky plant has been mechanically completed and is now in the commissioning phase to meet the growing market demand. This milestone marks a significant step toward revenue growth, with cost-reduction initiatives completed in the current business aimed at enhancing profitability. Tightening environmental regulations have led to rising demand, opening doors to a multi-million-dollar U.S. market, with a focus on air and liquid phase technologies. In addition, it provides access to the larger water treatment market.
The company is also protected against the threat of trade tariffs with all of its manufacturing capacity in the U.S.
The company’s expansion plans include nearly 200% increase in capacity, alongside raising its stake in NewCarbon Processing, LLC to 50% from its current 40%. The commissioning phase is ongoing, with full-quality production targeted within two months. Initial product samples will support long-term offtake deals, while initial outputs will be sold on the spot market or integrated into Carbonxt’s product lines.
