Revenue generating Cleantech company
==> picture [99 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [36 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
FY20 revenue of ~$16m. FY21 revenue of ~$12.3m– impacted by contract delays and COVID-19, now resolved. Trading at < ~2x current revenue. Pre-Covid, grew revenue from ~$4M to ~$18M with quarterly revenue now tracking up favorably in FY22 to pre-COVID levels
==> picture [36 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
Three US manufacturing facilities with capacity to produce ~20,000 tonnes of powdered and pelletized product
==> picture [36 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
Completion of an additional 5,000 ton per annum pellet facility in Kentucky expected in 2HFY22 100% funded by the counterparty and will improve gross margins and eliminate working capital requirements for industrial pellets
==> picture [36 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
Significant expansion in FY22 due to increased plant utilisation, reduced reliance on third-party suppliers, and increased in-house manufacturing capacity
==> picture [36 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
Continuing transition from customer acquisition to also now establishing our Cleantech in new sectors – becoming a recognised, profitable, and high growth player in US industry delivering real solutions for decarbonization

-
Opportunities for AC Pellet use is increasing across a broad range of industrial applications (addressable market – greater than US $200m)
-
Pellets for the Granular Activated Carbon (GAC Market) for instance, lowers the pressure drop for users thereby reducing energy consumption and lowering carbon emissions. GAC is a US $250m+ market
-
Development of new solutions continues to expand our addressable market into industries not previously serviced by Carbonxt; strong and immediate growth opportunities

Strong macro tail winds driving cleantech
==> picture [99 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
Unprecedented amounts in low carbon cleantech assets last year – a record $501.3Bn to decarbonization in 2020 up 9% YoY

Carbonxt’s success in addressing major environmental concerns of airborne emissions and water contamination was recently featured on US National TV (CNBC) series ‘Advancements’ with Ted Danson on the 11th September 2021 – http://advancementstv.com/segments/
Biden Administration embracing steep cuts to carbon emissions and increasing the purview and budget of the Environmental Protection Agency; Proposed US 2022 budget calls for increased spending on climate mitigation with US$2 bn allocated to clean energy projects
World’s largest 217 companies reported their financial impact from climate related risks at US$1 trillion – it is cheaper to manage these physical and transitional risks up front

HydRestor: A new market opportunity capitalizing on our IP
==> picture [99 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
-
Carbonxt’s HydRestor is a high quality pelletized activated carbon sorbent:
-
Developed specifically for removal of phosphorus in various water-phase applications
-
Leveraged existing patent-pending formulation to develop a range of novel sorbents
-
Competitive advantage of sorbents: compact vessel design that is scalable, better aesthetics and easier to use
-
Three pilot opportunities are currently underway using HydRestor™proprietary technology:
-
Continuing with water treatment facilities and secondary treatment stations
-
Full-scale system online since early summer using pelletized HydRestor
-
Progressing though second phase requirements of Herox Prize
-
Red Tide and Blue Green Algae events are caused by algal blooms releasing toxins into the air and water:
-
Naturally occurring off coasts all over the world
-
Devastate aquatic life, tourism, and resident's sensitive to airborne irritants
-
The existing research above has focused on prevention by reducing the nutrient concentrations in the discharge water and stormwater systems

AC Pellet technology to combat Florida red tide events
==> picture [99 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
-
An $18-million state funded initiative combines forces between Mote Marine Laboratory, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and industry partners like Carbonxt:
-
Supported by government grants to fund development of an AC Pellet mitigation technology to arrest the spread of red tide algal blooms
-
Red tide events in Florida devastate effect on tourism, fisheries, aquatic life and air quality
-
Vision: Apply pellets formulated to simultaneously kill K. brevis and remove its toxins without causing long-term harm to the ecosystem:
-
Carbonxt Novel algaecide/activated carbon composites are capable of killing up to 100% of the algae within 2 hours in lab tests
-
Comparative test indicates considerably better performance from recently developed Carbonxt formulas than commercially available algaecide for killing red tide algae
-
Future Work: Two more phases - determine which delivery mechanism works best in larger
scale aquariums then a full-scale test in an estuary to demonstrate effectiveness:
- If proven to be effective for large-scale ocean applications, technology could revolutionize algae control worldwide
