​Leidian launches second-generation LOOP decarbonization technology 

British climate technology firm Levidian has launched its second-generation LOOP technology, which will aim to achieve industrial levels of production of high-quality graphene. Levidian’s LOOP system provides heavy emitters and hard-to-abate industries such as landfill and aluminium producers with a  route to both decarbonize their processes and open up new revenue streams from the graphene and hydrogen that are produced.

At the heart of LOOP is a patented ‘nozzle’ where microwave energy is applied to crack methane into its component parts, creating clean hydrogen and capturing carbon in the form of high purity graphene. A single nozzle will be capable of producing around 15 tonnes of graphene a year – enough, 
for example, to transform the performance of thousands of electric vehicles with graphene-enhanced batteries and tires so that cars can go further for 
longer with less impact on the environment.
