British local weather tech firm Levidian and Canadian graphene expertise firm Zentek have entered an settlement to discover the institution of a brand new manufacturing facility within the Center East.
The businesses have agreed to mix their experience in carbon seize, graphene manufacturing and supplies improvement to speed up the roll out of Zentek’s ZenGUARD™ Enhanced Air Filters and different graphene-enhanced merchandise inside the area, whereas additionally supporting the manufacturing of graphene for different industries.
Levidian’s patented LOOP system produces clear hydrogen and high-quality graphene by capturing carbon from methane earlier than it’s burned, giving companies the chance to each drive down emissions and enhance the efficiency of their merchandise. The graphene produced may be deployed in a variety of merchandise, from batteries and photo voltaic panels to tyres and plastics.
Ian Hopkins, Chief Industrial Officer at Levidian, stated: “Zentek’s dedication to utilizing nanomaterials to sort out a number of the world’s most urgent challenges aligns seamlessly with Levidian’s mission to decarbonise industries. By integrating our graphene manufacturing capabilities with Zentek’s experience in superior supplies, we are able to assist regional sustainability targets whereas considerably bettering air high quality for companies and communities.”
Poor indoor air high quality is a worldwide problem, impacting each well being and productiveness. Zentek’s ZenGUARD™ Enhanced Air Filters leverage graphene to surpass the filtration efficiency of conventional supplies, decreasing airborne pathogens and contaminants to create safer indoor environments. With its utility in healthcare, authorities infrastructure, and industrial settings, the expertise has the potential to make a big affect in bettering air high quality and public well being.
Ryan Shacklock, Senior Vice President, Technique and Enterprise Improvement at Zentek, added: “Our ZenGUARD™ Enhanced Air Filters leverage the highly effective attributes of graphene to enhance indoor air high quality and vitality effectivity. As vital, this distinctive worth proposition is a compelling instance of a commercially viable graphene-based expertise created by making an present product higher.
“Wanting forward, our partnership with Levidian marks an thrilling subsequent step, bringing collectively their cutting-edge carbon seize expertise with high-quality graphene manufacturing, to assist worldwide enlargement of ZenGUARD™ Enhanced Air Filters. We consider it additionally helps pave the way in which to develop a broader portfolio of recent commercially viable, graphene-enhanced merchandise that assist public well being and world sustainability targets. We stay up for advancing this vital work with the Levidian workforce.”
Levidian is already working to determine the placement for a brand new manufacturing and supply centre within the area, which can function a showcase and central manufacturing hub for the enterprise. The centre is anticipated to create round 100 skilled and manufacturing roles alongside an additional 150 oblique jobs.
