ADNOC Gas, in partnership with Baker Hughes, an energy technology company, has successfully installed British climate technology firm Levidian’s patented LOOP technology at the Habshan Gas Processing Plant.
The installation marks the first-ever deployment of the technology at an operational gas processing site. Carbon will be captured from methane, the main constituent of natural gas, and transformed into graphene, a material set to shape the future of multiple industrial applications.
The LOOP unit is capable of producing more than one tonne per annum (tpa) of graphene and one tpa of hydrogen, making it a dual-purpose innovation aligned with global energy transition goals. Future industrial-scale installations are expected to deliver 15 tpa.
Data collected during the pilot will be used to refine the ongoing development of AI modelling and digital twins to minimise energy consumption and maximise graphene output from future installations as part of Levidian’s growing fleet of LOOP units.
The graphene produced at the Habshan complex will be evaluated and utilised by ADNOC’s Technology team to explore possible applications.
Graphene has the potential to be used across industries from enhancing the performance of electric vehicle batteries and solar panels to creating stronger, more durable materials such as concrete, tires, and polymer pipes.
