Levidian aims for 50,000 tonnes of sustainable graphene by 2030 with second generation LOOP

Levidian has launched its second-generation LOOP hydrogen production technology which is capable of capturing carbon dioxide in the form of graphene.

The first industrial-scale unit has been deployed at its headquarters in Cambridge, the UK, expected to spearhead Levidian’s plan to produce thousands of tonnes of high-quality graphene by applying microwave energy to crack methane into its component parts.

This ultimately creates clean hydrogen and captured carbon in the form of graphene. H2 View understands that a single nozzle will be capable of producing around 15 tonnes of graphene a year, offering hard-to-abate industries, such as landfill and aluminium producers, a route to decarbonise processes and open up new revenue streams from the produced graphene and hydrogen.
