New technology for splitting harmful methane into hydrogen and graphene
The chemical engineers at Levidian, an innovative climate-tech start-up in Cambridge, UK, have patented a cold-plasma microwave process that splits captured methane (CH4) into two economically valuable products - clean hydrogen and graphene - without the need for additives or catalysts. Graphene is the thinnest and strongest material ever discovered. It can be used to sequester carbon into a huge range of sustainable industrial products, from concrete to tyres to household waste bags.
