Environmental Clean Technologies Limited (ASX: ECT) reported significant advancements in its PFAS remediation technology and market expansion initiatives. The company expanded its license agreement with Rice University to apply Flash Joule Heating (FJH) to PFAS-contaminated adsorbents like granular activated carbon (GAC), broadening its addressable market into water treatment. ECT also completed the construction of a pilot-scale Rapid Electrothermal Mineralisation (REM) system, which delivers 18 times the power output of the laboratory prototype. Additionally, the company submitted REM performance data to the U.S. EPA's Interim Guidance on PFAS destruction and disposal. ECT has also initiated the process to list its shares on the OTCQB Venture Market under the ticker 'ECTHF', aiming for Q3 2026 trading. Furthermore, the company engaged RSM Corporate Australia Pty Ltd to conduct an independent review of commercialisation pathways for its COLDry technology.

The completion of the pilot REM system supports ECT's transition to a field-deployable commercial platform, positioning it for the first in-field pilot demonstration in H2 2026. The U.S. EPA submission and OTCQB listing process aim to enhance ECT's profile and accessibility to U.S. investors, its largest market.
