KUALA LUMPUR: Gas Malaysia Bhd
has deployed Asia Pacific's first LOOP system, a graphene production and decarbonisation technology developed by Levidian Nanosystems Ltd.
Gas Malaysia said the system was installed within its Natural Gas Distribution System (NGDS) and is capable of producing high-quality graphene from methane while enabling cleaner energy solutions through the residual hydrogen-rich gas.
"The deployment marks a key milestone following the memorandum of understanding signed by both parties in June 2025. Building on this foundation, Gas Malaysia and Levidian have entered into an exclusive regional collaboration agreement to support the phased deployment of LOOP systems across Malaysia and the ASEAN region," it said in a statement.
Gas Malaysia president and group chief executive officer Azli Mohamed said the deployment reflects the group’s commitment to advancing innovative and low-carbon solutions.
"Together with Levidian, we aim to support the growth of sustainable industries while creating new value from existing gas infrastructure,” he said.
Levidian chief commercial officer Ian Hopkins said the deployment of its first LOOP system in Asia Pacific, together with the regional collaboration, represented a major step forward in the company’s global commercialisation journey.
It added that the development reflects notable progress in the company's drive to strengthen capabilities and unlock long-term value across its gas value chain. - Bernama
