The product catalogue is available in 16 languages – English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Turkish, Indonesian, Hindi, Vietnamese, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai and Arabic.

We believe this is the first palletised product catalogue for graphene enhanced products ever in the world and the GMG team is very proud to bring this to market in such a fashion.”

The energy savings observed due to the THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE coating on the cooling coils were on average a 10.6% reduction in temperature and a 10.5% reduction in air flow pressure across the cooling coils. GMG is now working with distributors and the customer to identify and implement more projects.

The air flow pressure across these internal cooling coils was recorded before washing, after washing and then after coating with THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE. The recordings show a notable 6.5% reduction of air flow pressure due to the significant reduction in friction caused by the graphene coating.

About GMG

GMG is an Australian-based clean-technology company, which develops, makes and sells energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene manufactured via in-house production process. GMG uses its own proprietary production process to decompose natural gas (i.e. methane) into its natural elements, carbon (as graphene), hydrogen and some residual hydrocarbon gases. This process produces high quality, low-cost, scalable, ‘tuneable’ and low/no contaminant graphene suitable for use in clean technology and other applications.

The Company’s present focus is to de-risk and develop commercial scale-up capabilities, and secure market applications. In the energy savings segment, GMG has initially focused on graphene enhanced heating, ventilation and air conditioning (“HVAC-R”) coating (or energy saving coating), which is now being marketed into other applications, including electronic heat sinks, industrial process plants and data centres. Another product GMG has developed is the graphene lubricant additive focused on saving liquid fuels initially for diesel engines.

In the energy storage segment, GMG and the University of Queensland are working collaboratively with financial support from the Australian Government to progress R&D and commercialization of graphene aluminium-ion batteries (“G+AI Batteries“). GMG has also developed a graphene additive slurry that is aimed to improve the performance of lithium ion batteries.

GMG’s 4 critical business objectives are:

  1. Produce Graphene and Improve/Scale Cell Production Processes
  2. Build Revenue from Energy Savings Products
  3. Develop Next-Generation Battery
  4. Develop Supply Chain, Partners & Project Execution Capability

GMG and UQ started working on an Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage Project in 2021 to co-develop the Graphene Aluminium Ion Battery and this will now continue under this new Collaborative Research Agreement.

The Agreement sets out, among other things, the way in which pre-agreed GMG and UQ personnel can work at each other party’s premises and the intellectual property rights and obligations for each party. It also provides that GMG has the exclusive first right to negotiate an exclusive license to use any of the work UQ develops under this Agreement.

UQ’s Professor Alan Rowan, AIBN Executive Director, commented “We look forward to continuing our strong research and development relationship with the world leading clean technology company GMG and deepening our knowledge on the graphene aluminium ion battery technology.”

GMG’s Managing Director and CEO, Craig Nicol, commented: “GMG is very pleased to continue working with the world leading UQ AIBN team and collaborating with them to co-develop our next generation Graphene Aluminium Ion Battery.”

As previously announced on March 3, 2025, GMG has entered into a service contract with the Battery Innovation Center (BIC) of Indiana in the United States of America to support the next phase of development of the Graphene Aluminium Ion Battery. As a result, GMG is no longer focused on a project to construct an Automated Battery Pilot Plant at its Richlands Australia headquarters at this time. GMG and the State of Queensland have mutually agreed to an early termination of the Queensland Critical Minerals and Battery Technology Fund Agreement between the parties.

About GMG:

GMG is an Australian based clean-technology company which develops, makes and sells energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene manufactured via in house production process. GMG uses its own proprietary production process to decompose natural gas (i.e. methane) into its natural elements, carbon (as graphene), hydrogen and some residual hydrocarbon gases. This process produces high quality, low cost, scalable, ‘tuneable’ and low/no contaminant graphene suitable for use in clean-technology and other applications.

The Company’s present focus is to de-risk and develop commercial scale-up capabilities, and secure market applications. In the energy savings segment, GMG has initially focused on graphene enhanced heating, ventilation and air conditioning (“HVAC-R”) coating (or energy-saving coating) which is now being marketed into other applications including electronic heat sinks, industrial process plants and data centres. Another product GMG has developed is the graphene lubricant additive focused on saving liquid fuels initially for diesel engines.

In the energy storage segment, GMG and the University of Queensland are working collaboratively with financial support from the Australian Government to progress R&D and commercialization of graphene aluminium-ion batteries (“G+AI Batteries”). GMG has also developed a graphene additive slurry that is aimed to improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries.

GMG’s 4 critical business objectives are:

  1. Produce Graphene and improve/scale cell production processes
  2. Build Revenue from Energy Savings Products
  3. Develop Next-Generation Battery
  4. Develop Supply Chain, Partners & Project Execution Capability
