Carbonxt Group Ltd (ASX: CG1) has increased its stake in the Kentucky activated carbon plant by paying an additional US$1 million, moving closer to its 50% ownership target. The facility is on track for commercial production in mid-2025, with key milestones being met. Recent capital raised through convertible notes, share purchase plans, and placements has been used to fund this investment.

The commissioning of the Kentucky facility is progressing well, with production expected to start in the coming weeks. This expansion into the liquid-phase activated carbon market is a significant step for Carbonxt, positioning the company for revenue and margin growth in FY26.

To assist with funding, Carbonxt has raised A$1.0 million through convertible notes, with an incentive structure revised to provide 1 unlisted option per share issued upon conversion. Shareholder approval will be required for the issue of these options.

Investors are encouraged to reach out with any questions about this latest development. The company's strategic outlook remains positive, with the Kentucky facility enabling access to higher-value markets and supporting growing demand in the U.S. water treatment and environmental compliance sectors.
