Levidian - Model LOOP -Decarbonisation Device
LOOP is a decarbonisation device designed to accelerate the world’s transition to net zero. The process has two products: hydrogen, a clean energy source, and net zero graphene, a material reshaping the world we live in. LOOP seamlessly docks with existing infrastructure to strip carbon from methane, helping businesses to decarbonise instantly. Upon installing LOOP, the average business could reduce the CO2 potential of their natural gas by up to 40% instantly by replacing it with hydrogen, a more sustainable fuel. This device can be deployed to any site that produces methane (such as a wastewater treatment plant) or uses natural gas.
A quarter of global warming is caused by methane.
Encouragingly there are a growing number of options for capturing methane and turning it into useful products.
In our whitepaper we explore the three main methane cracking technologies; SMR, Pyrolysis and Microwave Plasma.
In a world where mitigating climate change looks hugely costly – and the impact of doing nothing even worse – the opportunities presented by methane cracking are a rare bit of good news.
Process heat users & gas-fired power generators: LOOP strips carbon from natural gas to decarbonise your heat source by up to 40%. This deployment also provides a stream of graphene for use or re-sale.
Pure hydrogen users & blended gas grids: An efficient way of increasing the hydrogen of the gas blend, this reduces the CO2 emissions associated with traditional combustion. Pure hydrogen can also be separated and used or stored.
Anaerobic digestion, waste gas, or flaring locations: Waste gas is used directly as an input to LOOP. Hydrogen can be compressed and removed or used on site, and the graphene can be collected for re-sale.
Graphene enhanced production manufacturers: Using a sustainable local methane source, graphene can be extracted and re-adopted on site – reducing the need for expensive transportation. The resulting hydrogen or hydrogen-methane blend can be compressed for use elsewhere or used to power process/heating on site.
LOOP is a tried and tested decarbonisation tool – Levidian has used the device for over ten years at our site in Cambridge.
