In Luxembourg, Stugalux is leading the way in decarbonizing the construction sector with the help of climate startup Levidian. The Cambridge-based company has developed the LOOP device, which processes methane into hydrogen and the wonder material graphene, reducing emissions.
The LOOP device is a low-temperature and low-pressure method that breaks down methane without using additives. It is a threefold impact, which translates into impressive numbers: processing 250,000 cubic meters of waste gas each year, producing more than 30 tonnes of graphene and preventing 572 tonnes of CO2e annually.
Currently, Stugalux is operating a LOOP20 device, which can remove 20 tonnes of CO2e each year. In the near future, two LOOP100 systems will be implemented to scale up decarbonisation.
John Hartley, CEO of Levidian, is enthusiastic about the project. He comments that this is a “fantastic example of how a LOOP system can be used” to decarbonise and that it is “an incredible way to demonstrate the circularity of LOOP contributing to a cleaner economy”.
Levidian is a climate startup based in Cambridge, UK. Founded by John Hartley, the company provides innovative eco-friendly solutions to reduce and convert methane emissions. Their LOOP device breaks down methane and converts it into hydrogen and graphene, providing both clean energy and building materials.
