Kriu,
you are right: they use only the loop antennas. The webpage of the company is: https://www.nowcast.de/.
The high accuracy of their detection (they claim 100 m to 75 m) allows them also to check for the height of the discharge, but I am not sure what their efficiency for intra- or inter cloud lightning really is - what do they use as reference??
Anyway, this appears to be the best current system for lightning detection.
