Cambridge, England Scientists have long said that cutting methane emissions is the key to treating climate change, but many large industries are not able to easily limit their production of harmful greenhouse gases. A British company says it has an answer: converting methane into something else.
Methan is a threat. Climate scientists say that invisible gas heats the Earth’s atmosphere 84 times faster than carbon dioxide. It is launched in the atmosphere by organic materials, such as food waste, rot in the landfill sites, and wastewater treatment facilities, and By digestive system systems for cows.
Levidian, a climate technology company in Cambridge, England – has begun to face this climate change challenge, by giving methane a shift.
“Magic is happening here,” John Hartley, CEO of the company, told CBS News.
Technology uses microwave energy and a special nozzle system to divide methane particles into parts of the gas component – hydrogen and carbon – and picks it up.
Hydrogen is increasingly searching, as It can be used in energy Factories, trucks, ships and other machines. Levidyan said it is clean fuel, because, when burned, it results in heat and energy, but the only emission is water vapor, and no carbon dioxide.
Meanwhile, the carbon is located from the broken methane, at the same time, in the qadous as a crucifixion called grapin, which was known to science for about two decades only, and is often described in the name of The most powerful material in the world.
Dr. Elie Galenis, head of commercial development in Levidyan, was keen to show the graphic harvesting from the folding loop at the company’s laboratory.
“It is an exciting time to participate in the graphics, and it shakes a cube filled with powder -like black materials.” It is great. “

Galanis and her team were busy working on ways to use Levidian graves that produced it to enhance the durability of daily products.
“When you put graphics on the tire juice, you can make it stronger. You can last longer and you can make it more efficient in fuel consumption,” she said.
They also tried to add it to concrete.
She said: “Without graphene, it tends to collapse is much easier, but with gravies it is much stronger.”
Even strong but flexible superior materials can be included in the manufacture of medical gloves.
“When the surgeons test” the sudden “, they are trying to verify whether it will be broken, and this does not happen when adding grapin in – makes them much stronger and more resistant to the hole.”
Scientists say graphene also helps to increase the life of the battery in electric cars, and can be mixed in plastic to help manufacturers use oil derived materials in their bottles.
Researchers discovered the graphics only 20 years ago, at the University of Manchester, and Levidyan sees years of growth in front of the product.
“When you enter your car, you will have improved bulldozer tires that last longer. The battery will take you in that car, if it is electric, because it will get greater capacity to charge faster, and the concrete that you use in the building and expected to be more durable and have a smaller carbon fingerprint,” She added that even “the clothes you wear may contain gravies in them so that they are more sustainable.”
Lividian says its episode system has now arrived in the United States, as it uses the Georgia -based Southwire Southwire to reduce the carbon imprint.
