Innovative Collaboration: Turning Cow Slurry into Clean Hydrogen at Glastonbury Festival
Key Ideas
  • Hexla and Levidian are collaborating to convert cow slurry at the Glastonbury Festival site into clean hydrogen using innovative technology.
  • The hydrogen produced will be used for electricity generation, while the by-product graphene will be utilized in various industries like batteries and plastics.
  • This project showcases the potential of clean hydrogen production in decarbonizing industries and unlocking new revenue streams, contributing to the global hydrogen demand.
  • Similar projects and investments in green hydrogen production are on the rise worldwide, indicating a growing industry focus on sustainable energy solutions.
Hexla, a clean hydrogen developer, and Levidian, a climate tech company, have joined forces to implement a groundbreaking project at Worthy Farm, the site of the renowned Glastonbury Festival. By incorporating Levidian's LOOP technology into the anaerobic digestion plant powered by cow slurry and waste silage, the partners aim to convert carbon captured during the energy process into valuable graphene and clean hydrogen. The graphene will find applications in battery, concrete, and plastic production, while the clean hydrogen will contribute to electricity generation through the existing plant. Both Hexla and Levidian express enthusiasm for this initiative, highlighting the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the technology. They emphasize the significance of scaling up such innovative solutions to meet the increasing demand for clean hydrogen globally. Levidian's CEO, John Hartley, emphasizes the importance of such projects in decarbonizing challenging industries and creating new revenue streams. The article also discusses the escalating interest in green hydrogen, citing examples like Meld Energy's green hydrogen facility in Hull and collaborative plans for a low-carbon hydrogen hub in England. Additionally, the US Department of Energy's substantial funding allocation for hydrogen projects, particularly those converting waste into clean hydrogen, indicates a growing momentum towards sustainable energy practices and technological advancements.
