US$159,000 Grant Funding for Water Remediation Project

United States focused Cleantech company Carbonxt Group Ltd (ASX:CG1) (‘‘Carbonxt” or “the Company”) is pleased to confirm that it has been awarded a US$159,000 (~A$240,000) research grant by the Florida state government to advance a groundbreaking water remediation study aimed at combatting the negative impacts of algae growth on coastal communities.


  • Receipt of US$159,000 (~A$240,000) in grant funding to advance a groundbreaking water remediation project in partnership with Mote Marine Laboratory
  • The project has been designed to target a reduction in marine algae with a focus on Red Tide algae, which continues to pose a significant threat to the Gulf Coast of Florida, through the application of innovative solutions that include the use of Carbonxt’s state- of-the-art Activated Carbon (AC) products
  • Study will leverage Carbonxt’s expertise to pelletize new environmentally friendly algicides combined with activated carbon, with the aim of creating an all-in-one mitigation tool against marine algae
  • Grant funding has been provided in accordance with Florida Statutes which were legislated in 2019, as part of a government initiative to coordinate efforts among public and private research groups to apply innovative technologies to reduce the impact of Red Tide algae on coastal communities
The research initiative will be conducted in conjunction with Mote Marine Laboratory, an independent, nonprofit marine research institution based in Florida. The program has been designed with the aim of reducing and eradicating excessive algal bloom growth in water systems using innovative adsorption technologies, including activated carbon products manufactured by Carbonxt.

Specifically, the research program will target the harmful Karenia brevis (K. brevis) algae, a significant threat to the Gulf Coast of Florida. The toxins associated with K. brevis algae are the primary cause of Florida’s battle with Red Tide, which in 2018 cost the state US$2.8 billion (~A$4.3 billion AUD) of tourist revenue following a ‘Red Tide event’ which affected Florida and the US gulf coast.

Funding for the program will be allocated in accordance with Florida Statutes which were signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis in June 2019. The government initiative is an independent and coordinated effort among public and private research entities to develop prevention, control, and mitigation technologies to address the impacts of red tide on coastal environments and communities in Florida.

In partnership with Mote Marine, Carbonxt aims to build on years of research in the field to pelletize new environmentally friendly algicides combined with activated carbon. In a recently published study in the Florida Water Resources Journal, prior research from the partnership between Carbonxt and Mote Marine found that a combination of activated carbon, flavonoid and luteolin showed effectiveness in treated algal blooms at a laboratory scale. With the approval for this research grant, the two organisations aim to build on their findings from research conducted to-date. In particular, the pelletisation aspect is critical to make the technology deployable across wide beachfront areas. Once developed, the AC pellet has the potential to eliminate algal growth and adsorb relevant toxins.

This announcement has been approved for release to the ASX by the Board of CG1.

CEO of Carbonxt Inc, Regina Rodriguez PhD, commented: “Along with our commercialisation initiatives, Carbonxt’s industry-leading R&D capabilities and strong commitment to environmental remediation position us to make significant strides in addressing harmful algae blooms that affect US waterways.

(" Westport ") (TSX:WPRT Nasdaq:WPRT), a leading supplier of advanced alternative fuel systems and components for the global transportation industry, reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024, and provided an update on operations.

Donald Trump in front of American flag.

Is Trump a Threat to US Electric Vehicle and Battery Supply Chain Growth?

Electric vehicles (EVs) are key to cutting greenhouse gas emissions and fighting climate change, and the Biden administration has implemented subsidies and tax incentives to foster US and North American supply chains.

Nearly US$1 trillion is flowing into various initiatives via the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal, CHIPS and Science Act and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The aim is to boost economic and tech development while supporting clean energy.

More specifically, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal invests in upgrading US infrastructure, including roads, bridges, public transit and broadband internet. Meanwhile, the CHIPS and Science Act promotes US semiconductor manufacturing and research to reduce reliance on foreign suppliers, and the IRA focuses on reducing the deficit, lowering drug costs and investing in clean energy to combat climate change.
