In the UK, Levidian has announced its first international expansion with the establishment of a new base in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Levidian said its LOOP device offers a route to capture the carbon from waste gas from hard-to-abate industries such as oil and gas, which currently accounts for 15% of total energy-related emissions globally, while creating a new source of clean hydrogen and high-quality graphene.
“Levidian is a great example of how UK companies are supporting efforts to tackle climate change in the Middle East. We are delighted that the UAE is the destination for Levidian’s expansion, bringing their world-leading tech to the region and helping to unlock the potential of graphene in the UAE,” said Rob Bricker, Director for the Department for Business and Trade United Arab Emirates.
“The opportunities for us in the Middle East, and specifically in the UAE, mean the region is central to our growth strategy. We believe we can take our LOOP technology and develop it further and faster to meet the ambitions of the industries that need to urgently decarbonize,” said John Hartley, Levidian CEO.
