Cambridge-based climate<\/a> startup Levidian<\/a> is expanding its operations to the EU. The company is bringing its next-gen decarbonisation device targeting methane emissions \u2014 the second biggest contributor to climate change<\/a> after carbon dioxide \u2014 to Luxembourg.<\/p>\n

Using a proprietary low-temperature, low-pressure method with no additives, the so-called LOOP device breaks down and converts methane into its component atoms: hydrogen and carbon, which is stripped in the form of wonder material<\/a> graphene \u2014 the thinnest and strongest material ever discovered.<\/p>\n

Luxembourg-based construction company Stugalux<\/a> will use LOOP to process biomethane gas produced from food and agricultural waste. The resulting hydrogen will power an electricity-generating turbine, while graphene will be integrated into Stugalux\u2019s building products.<\/p>\n

\u201c[This] is a fantastic example of how a LOOP system can be used to decarbonise in three ways simultaneously [and] an incredible way to demonstrate the circularity of LOOP contributing to a cleaner economy,\u201d said<\/a> John Hartley, CEO of Levidian.<\/p>\n

LOOP\u2019s threefold decarbonising impact translates into some impressive numbers, according to Stugalux\u2019s owner Joel Schons.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether, the three LOOP systems will process nearly 250,000 cubic meters of waste gas per year, producing more than 30 tonnes of graphene, and preventing 572 tonnes of CO2e every year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Stugalux will initially deploy a LOOP20 on-site, meaning a device capable of removing approximately 20 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) per year. By 2025, it hopes to have installed two LOOP100 systems, to scale up decarbonisation.<\/p>\n

Levidian deployed its very first LOOP device<\/a> in late 2022. In collaboration with Eco Group<\/a>, the startup<\/a> installed a LOOP10 system in southern Scotland, with future plans for over 60 LOOP1000 units within the next five years.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
