As one of 42 companies – out of 1083 applications – and the only Belgian company, D-CRBN will receive a grant from the EIC Accelerator programme. The European Commission sees great potential in the plasma technology used by the innovative company to convert captured CO₂ into CO.

Many industrial companies are exploring the potential of CO₂ capture and storage to reduce their emissions. But converting CO₂ into a feedstock for your own process can be much more efficient than storing it. ‘In many industrial sectors, such as petrochemicals or steel, CO is an important feedstock. It is currently produced from fossil sources. With our plasma technology, waste CO₂ can be converted into CO’, says David Ziegler, Chief Commercial Officer of D-CRBN, a spin-off from the University of Antwerp.
