Tadweer and Levidian Partner to Revolutionize Waste Management with Carbon-Negative Technology
The Tadweer Group and British climate company Levidian have partnered to work on international projects focused on removing carbon from waste. The group is currently developing a pilot project, the first of its kind in Abu Dhabi, which is expected to be operational by the end of 2024.
According to Oliver Christian, the British government’s trade commissioner in the Middle East, this partnership is crucial in addressing one of the greatest climate challenges of our time. Through collaboration, Tadweer’s commitment to the circular economy and Levidian’s innovative climate technology will create opportunities to convert waste into energy and extract value from waste not only in the Emirates but globally.
The partnership aims to accelerate the removal of carbon from landfill sites worldwide using Levidian’s “LOOP” technology to produce clean hydrogen and carbon-negative graphene. These materials can be used as high-quality additives to enhance the performance of various materials such as concrete, batteries, and plastics.
Ali Al Dhaheri, Managing Director and CEO of Tadweer, expressed pride in investing in Levidian and working to bring this technology to the UAE. He emphasized that collaboration with like-minded companies is essential for introducing advanced technologies and pioneering solutions that revolutionize waste treatment for future generations.
John Hartley, CEO of Levidian, stressed the urgency of addressing the climate challenge in the waste sector and highlighted this partnership with Tadweer as a way to support waste companies and governments in their efforts to extract value and remove carbon from waste.
Through a mobile system, this joint project between Tadweer and Levidian aims to complete more carbon removal projects in the UAE and beyond. The goal is to offer this technology as a scalable solution for methane waste on a global scale while continuing to refine it for future impact.
