Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd (TSX V: GMG) CEO & Managing Director Craig Nicol talked with Proactive about the company’s recent US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approval and the commercial potential of its graphene-based technologies.

Nicol explained that the EPA approval for GMG’s THERMAL-XR® coating system marks a major milestone, following years of testing and regulatory work. He described the process as “a very intense process,” noting that the approval allows the company to sell its product in the United States under defined conditions.

The THERMAL-XR® coating is designed to improve energy efficiency and extend the life of equipment across multiple industries. Nicol highlighted its application in data centres, stating the coating can deliver “10 to 20% energy savings,” which is significant given the rising energy demands of AI-driven infrastructure.
