August 24, 2026. Carbogenics USA has officially secured its first production facility in Raton, New Mexico, marking a major milestone in the early-stage company’s growth and its ambition to build a regional hub for sustainable carbon innovation.
Established in 2025 as a separate US company from its more-established Scottish parent, Carbogenics USA is building its own manufacturing, commercial and technical presence in New Mexico, while drawing on the technology and expertise developed by Carbogenics in Scotland.
The company’s growth in New Mexico has been supported by the Technology & Innovation Office (TIO), a division of Economic Development New Mexico (EDNM), including Carbogenics USA’s receipt of a $440,000 Advanced Energy Award in 2025. This state support has played an integral role in helping the early-stage company establish its operations and progress plans for local manufacturing in New Mexico.
The new Raton facility will manufacture engineered carbon materials using locally sourced biomass, supporting applications across anaerobic digestion, water treatment, carbon removal and environmental remediation.
The announcement follows a period of rapid development for Carbogenics USA, including expansion of its local team and the development of strategic relationships with organizations across the state.
The Raton facility has been selected not only for its strategic location but also for its proximity to abundant biomass resources and leading research institutions. Carbogenics USA is working to strengthen collaborations with prospective partners including New Mexico State University (NMSU), The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), Vermejo Estate, St. Cloud Mining, and a growing network of industrial and utility organisations across New Mexico and Texas.
Together, these relationships have the potential to support the development of new engineered carbon materials using regional resources to address local environmental challenges, including water treatment and resource security.
The facility is expected to begin producing CreChar® in the coming weeks, providing North American customers with locally manufactured engineered biocarbons designed to improve anaerobic digestion stability, safety and efficiency, while laying the foundations for future products across the wider Carbogenics carbon solutions platform.
