How a Startup Turns Methane from Landfills into Graphene

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how one startup is taking methane gas from landfills and turning it into graphene, a material stronger than steel and more conductive than copper. The company, called Graphene Innovations Ltd, uses a plasma reactor to crack methane molecules into hydrogen and carbon atoms, assembling them into graphene sheets. They discuss the economics: the cost of capturing methane versus the value of the graphene produced, which can sell for up to $100 per kilogram. Lucas breaks down how this process can actually generate carbon-negative credits, since methane is 80 times more potent than CO2 as a greenhouse gas. Luna asks about the scalability and whether the graphene market is ready for this supply. They also touch on the broader implications for waste management and industrial decarbonization. A focused look at how a potent pollutant becomes a high-value material. #Graphene #MethaneCapture #LandfillGas #CarbonNegative #PlasmaReactor #Decarbonization #ClimateTech #WasteToValue #Nanomaterials #CarbonCredits #IndustrialDecarbonization #Business #Technology #Startup #Innovation #Sustainability #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
