Where the LOOPER
Solves Real Problems
From textile waste pilots in Norway to sewage-to-hydrogen in Croatia, defence-camp energy recovery to circular construction materials — the LOOPER is engineered for site-specific deployment.
Four Verticals,
One Modular Platform
The LOOPER is configured for the waste streams, energy goals, and operating constraints of each environment — without redesigning the core system.
Industrial & Utility
Treatment of process residues with on-site energy recovery — for chemical, textile, and food industries.
Municipal & Public
Sewage sludge, RDF, and biowaste valorisation — converting disposal cost into local energy.
Defence & Field Ops
Decentralised waste processing in military camps — energy autonomy and reduced supply lines.
Circular Construction
Solid residue valorisation into bricks, geopolymers, and paving — closing the materials loop.
Solid Residues to Construction Materials
Under the Horizon Europe AshCycle programme, solid residues from the LOOPER process are assessed for incorporation into bricks, geopolymers, and concrete formulations — proving the construction-industry pathway for material that would otherwise be landfilled.
The BravoBrick application embeds biochar residues directly into commercial brick production. Combined with paving and geopolymer trials, the result is a closed material loop where every tonne of waste processed contributes to both energy and circular construction.

A Cross-Border Hydrogen Valley
The North Adriatic Hydrogen Valley (NAHV), funded under Horizon Europe, brings together Croatia, Slovenia, and the Italian region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia to produce 5,000 tonnes of clean hydrogen per year. The LOOPER is positioned as one of several contributing technologies for the regional hydrogen economy.
Cross-border collaboration unlocks shared infrastructure — pipelines, off-takers, fuelling stations — that single-country projects cannot economically justify. The LOOPER’s modular design lets each member region deploy at the scale matching its local feedstock availability.

Textile Waste to Syngas at Pilot Scale
In partnership with Innovation Norway under the MWMGS project, Indeloop is developing the LOOPER configuration capable of converting one tonne of textile waste per day into hydrogen-rich syngas.
The textile industry generates massive volumes of non-recyclable mixed-fibre waste. Conventional disposal options — landfill or incineration — are increasingly restricted under EU directives. The LOOPER’s gasification pathway turns this stream into a usable energy carrier without prior fibre separation.

Municipal Sewage Sludge to Hydrogen
The S2H2 project, supported by the Innovation Fund, scales the LOOPER to process 25 tonnes of sewage sludge per day with the goal of producing up to 1 tonne of hydrogen daily — directly addressing one of the largest unsolved municipal waste streams in Europe.
Sewage sludge is energy-dense but difficult to handle. The LOOPER converts the sludge thermochemically, extracts hydrogen via downstream processing, and valorises the solid residue into construction-grade material — turning a treatment cost into a triple revenue stream.
