What the business is
A Cambridge climate-tech company whose LOOP device cracks methane into hydrogen and graphene.
The bet
That its LOOP plasma device can turn methane — a potent greenhouse gas — into sellable hydrogen and graphene, making decarbonisation a product customers buy.
How it started
Levidian deployed its first LOOP device in late 2022, a LOOP10 installed with Eco Group in southern Scotland, then looked to the EU for its next market.
What has to be true
One customer whose waste gas, power need and product line consume hydrogen, graphene and methane disposal at once is a self-contained proof of the business model.
Graphene gives the hydrogen economics a second revenue leg: the 'waste' carbon is a wonder material customers will pay to embed in products.
The buyer integrates both outputs itself — graphene into building products, hydrogen into power — so the pilot needs no external offtake partners.
What can be applied
Climate hardware travels better with a flagship customer: one partner whose waste, power and product needs consume all three of your outputs sells the circularity better than any pitch deck.
Aftermath
Stugalux planned to scale to two LOOP100 systems by 2025; the material records no later deployment data.
