Project description
Plasma-based technology converting CO2 into value-added products
CO2 recycling is a cornerstone of a circular carbon economy that aims for a net-zero future. The EIC-funded D-CRBN project introduces advanced technology developed by the PLASMANT research group, a spin-off climate tech company from the University of Antwerp, which can convert CO2. This technology recycles captured CO2 by breaking it into its original building blocks using a proprietary plasma-based method. It is at least five times more efficient than current systems. The carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) process helps decarbonise hard-to-abate industries by eliminating their point source emissions. It also creates value-added products such as e-fuels, polymers and chemicals. This technology provides a profitable, sustainable and flexible solution for CO2 recycling.
Objective
Spin-off from University of Antwerp (PLASMANT research group), D-CRBN is a climate tech company which has developed a cutting-edge technology that enables the conversion of CO2. We recycle captured CO2 and split it into its original building blocks thanks to our proprietary plasma-based technology whose efficiency is 5x higher (or more) than current systems. Our Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) process enables not only to decarbonize hard-to-abate industries by eliminating their point source emissions but also to create new value-added products such as e-fuels, polymers, and chemicals. In this way, CO2 recycling is the cornerstone of a circular carbon economy that supports a net-zero future.
We offer one of the most profitable, sustainable, and flexible CO2 recycling solutions to the petrochemical, steel industry, and maritime transport. In other words, we turn a harmful gas causing climate change into a business opportunity.
