Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMG) has announced the signing of a global distribution agreement with Curran International for THERMAL-XR® and for exclusive application services for the product oil and gas/LNG industry. 

Curran International is a global provider of heat transfer technologies working with some of the world's largest oil and gas companies like Exxon Mobil, BP, Philips 66, Chevron, Shell, Marathon, Citgo, Aramco, Total, Sabic, Motiva, Reliance, ONGC, HMEL, Cenovus, Suncor Energy and Satorp.

Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMG) has announced that it has signed a 3 year lease, with options for term extension, to support production expansion and to provide additional office space for staff. The site is within the Richlands suburb of Brisbane, nearby to the existing headquarters of the Company. 

GMG aims to deliver its Gen 2.0 Graphene Production Project (the "Gen 2.0 Project") by end of June 2026 - which is expected to produce at least 10 tonnes per annum of graphene at its headquarters in Richlands, Queensland, Australia. Once the Gen 2.0 Project is commissioned and operating, GMG plans to replicate and establish other production plants around the world to enable scaled production for potential sales, diversify and lower production risks, and reduce operating costs by locating the plant in countries with lower operating costs, including low cost natural gas - one of GMG's key production input costs.

Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMG) has announced that its THERMAL-XR graphene coating solution is being applied to air conditioning units at two luxury residential towers under construction on Australia’s Gold Coast in Queensland. The project involves coating between 300 and 600 air conditioners at GMG’s spray booth facility in Brisbane.

The company said the coating is designed to improve energy efficiency, reduce corrosion and extend the operating life of HVAC equipment. "Great to see two of the largest towers in Australia using THERMAL-XR on their air conditioners to save energy for the apartment owners and tenants as well as limiting corrosion and extending the air conditioners' life,” GMG CEO Craig Nicol said in a statement.

Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMG) has announced that it has secured a 20-year US patent and received approval in China for its graphene-based engine oil additive, G LUBRICANT, marking a further step in the company’s efforts to establish international intellectual property protection for the product.

The company said the latest developments build on a previously accepted patent covering the European region, with applications in several other countries still under review.

Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMG) has provided a progress update on its Graphene Aluminium-Ion Battery technology (“G+A CELLS”) being developed by GMG and the University of Queensland (“UQ”) under a Joint Development Agreement with Rio Tinto, one of the world’s largest metals and mining groups, and with the support of the Battery Innovation Center of Indiana (“BIC”) in the United States of America.

The GMG G+A CELLS have reportedly demonstrated superior performance characteristics when compared to a representative market leading ultra-fast charging batteries, the Lithium Titanate Oxide (“LTO”) batteries, which can be sold at a premium price of up to US$1200/kWh.

Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMG) has announced that the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved the import and sale of its THERMAL-XR graphene-based coating system in the US. The EPA issued a consent order under section 5(e) of the Toxic Substances Control Act, allowing GMG to export, distribute, sell, use and dispose of the chemical substance described in its pre-manufacture notice.

The product is used in GMG's THERMAL-XR ENHANCE coating system for applications including heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration, data centers, liquefied natural gas plants, automotive and electronics. GMG supplies the coating to its exclusive North American distributor, Nu-Calgon Wholesaler, which markets it as “Nu-Calgon CoolWorx powered by GMG Graphene.” The first shipment will now be sent to Nu-Calgon for distribution.

Graphene Manufacturing Group ("GMG") has announced its Board of Directors has approved the investment of an additional AU$1.4 million (around US$993,000), which is expected to complete the construction of the Company's Gen 2.0 Graphene Manufacturing Technology plant capable of producing 10 tons of graphene per annum. The total capital cost for the Gen 2.0 Plant is an estimated AU$2.3 million.

The Company's Board is reportedly happy with progress to date and is confident that the Gen 2.0 Plant project is on track to meet its original budget and expectation to be online by the middle of 2026. The early work and procurement of the long lead items is substantially complete, and engineering and design has commenced.

Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMG) has partnered with Tickford Racing, one of Australia's leading Supercars teams, to trial liquid graphene products on the racing track. Under the new partnership, Tickford Racing will trial GMG's liquid graphene products across its workshop and event infrastructure to measure reliability and performance outcomes.

Tickford will trial GMG's liquid graphene products, including G Lubricant and THERMAL-XR, while also displaying the GMG logo on its race cars and supporting promotional and customer engagement initiatives.

Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMG) has provides a business update on the commercialization progress of THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE.

The Company has announced it has received and accepted the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") consent notice approval conditions of the Pre-Manufacture Notice ("PMN") for its THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE graphene coating product. The consent notice conditions from the EPA signify a milestone in bringing this product to market in the USA, according to GMG. 

Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMG) has announced new test results for its graphene aluminium-ion battery, which the company says can recharge in roughly six minutes. GMG said the technology, known as the Graphene Aluminium-Ion Battery (G+AI), is being developed with the University of Queensland under a joint development agreement with Rio Tinto, with testing support from the Battery Innovation Center of Indiana in the US.

GMG reported that third-party testing by the Battery Innovation Center showed its current G+AI pouch cells achieved an energy density of 58 watt-hours per kilogram when charged in one hour and 26 watt-hours per kilogram when charged in six minutes. During six-minute fast charging, the cells reached 62% of capacity in 3.2 minutes and maintained performance over hundreds of cycles, according to the company. The cells had a nominal voltage of approximately 3.0 volts.
