Worthy Farm, known for hosting the Glastonbury Festival, is now using its anaerobic digestion plant to produce clean hydrogen and graphene. With the help of LOOP technology, the farm can capture carbon from the biomethane produced during this process and use it to generate electricity through their existing combined heat and power plant. This reduces up to 25 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year.
Hexla is providing funding to support the development of an industrial-scale LOOP1000 at Worthy Farm. This partnership will enable them to produce the lowest cost clean hydrogen in the world over the lifetime of the plant, thanks to the high-quality graphene that will be produced. Hexla has formed a Collaboration Agreement with Levidian, who are responsible for developing and deploying the LOOP technology. The two companies aim to deploy up to 300 LOOP1000 units worldwide, reducing emissions of hundreds of thousands of tonnes of CO2e per year.
Andy Yeow, founder of Hexla, expressed enthusiasm about this partnership. He highlighted how unique solid carbon by-product sets Levidian’s LOOP apart in terms of thermal efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The collaboration between Hexla and Levidian is focused on scaling up this innovative technology and deploying it in key hydrogen production markets worldwide.
