United Utilities, a North West water and wastewater group based in Warrington, has embarked on a groundbreaking project to utilize gas derived from sewage waste to generate clean hydrogen. Teaming up with climate tech firm Levidian, the initiative is being piloted at Manchester Bioresources Centre within the Davyhulme Wastewater Treatment Works. The project showcases the potential to produce clean hydrogen and graphene, offering sustainable solutions to reduce pollution and improve environmental practices. The partnership aims to leverage biogas generated from wastewater to create hydrogen, with the capability to produce 75,000 tonnes of hydrogen annually. This clean energy source could power a significant portion of UK public transport, aligning with the country's transition to net zero emissions. Hydrogen produced from this process can be used as a clean fuel for industrial operations, in zero carbon transport like HGVs, or blended into the national gas network to reduce emissions from residential heating and cooking. The innovative aspect of Levidian's LOOP device, which splits methane gas into hydrogen and captures the carbon as graphene, is set to revolutionize hydrogen production by driving down costs. The resulting graphene has various applications, including enhancing the durability of tires, minimizing the carbon footprint of concrete, and improving the performance of batteries and solar panels. The project signifies a step towards a circular economy, where waste products are transformed into valuable resources, contributing to sustainability initiatives. United Utilities is actively exploring opportunities to expand hydrogen production using this technology at Davyhulme and other sites in the North West, further solidifying their commitment to decarbonization and environmental stewardship.
