Proven, Pioneering British Innovation Delivers Powerful Impact

Exciting young climate tech business, Levidian, is displaying its remarkable offerings at Innovation Zero in London. Producing ‘wonder material’ graphene and helping industrial processes to quickly decarbonise, this progressive company is making a mark when it is desperately needed.

At Innovation Zero – the ground-breaking event that will see leading international minds gather in London to map out solutions to global challenges through climate technology – the UK’s own innovative and pioneering thinking will be on display as Levidian showcases its novel system which can produce hydrogen and graphene through the decarbonisation of methane.

Since 2013, Levidian has been creating graphene – often described as a revolutionary material because of its strength, flexibility, resistance, and lightweight nature – and is now busy with R&D projects that could highlight multiple use applications for the carbon-based material. At the same time, the company is marketing its patented LOOP technology – a decarbonisation device designed to accelerate the world’s transition to net zero by clipping into existing operations quickly and simply.

At Innovation Zero, new connections will be made, and new opportunities discussed.

“We want to introduce our technology to people we haven’t spoken to before – that is always important. We want to remind policy makers that British innovation and climate technology exists, and it is not all about huge-scale electrolyser or CCUS projects. There is a lot more out there, and technologies like ours are deployed in the filed doing their jobs – just because we are small does not mean we are not valuable,” says Marketing Director, Rebecca Zeitlin.

Levidian started life as Cambridge Nano Systems and was heavily focussed on the science behind graphene and its production – stripping carbon from methane (responsible for 25% of global warming). Today, the tech has been containerised and is already proving itself, reducing the CO2 potential of an average business’s natural gas by up to 40% instantly, replacing it with hydrogen, a more sustainable fuel. At Innovation Zero, there will be few able to match this performance.

“We have an innovative technology made here in the UK,” says Zeitlin. “There will be a varied audience and that is good for us given our product line and many different places we can be deployed. We will be able to talk about both LOOP and graphene which is exciting.”

Specific focus will centre on concrete and cement, where Levidian is a key sponsor. CEO John Hartley will present a discussion around innovation in the space. “He will talk on bridging the gap between the challenges we see today and the reality of innovation that will drive change in the future – and the fact that is already happening. He will also talk about adding graphene to mortar in particular, and the significant benefits we are seeing at lab-scale,” promises Zeitlin.

During the event at Olympia London, the underlying message from Levidian will be that innovation and advancement is happening now, and stakeholders have opportunities to get involved with clean technology at an early stage to support UK development.

“It’s going to be the flagship climate technology innovation platform and we want to be a part of that,” smiles Zeitlin. “We want to re-position ourselves against the backdrop of many other companies so that people can see what we do and understand how we fit into the complex climate tech eco-system.”
