Imagine a high-tech electric zapper that breaks apart CO2 molecules without needing messy chemicals or expensive catalysts. It turns a waste gas into a useful building block called carbon monoxide. This allows factories to recycle their own pollution into things like fuels and plastics right on site.
Hard-to-abate industries struggle with high CO2 emissions and a heavy reliance on volatile fossil fuel feedstocks. Current carbon capture solutions often lack efficiency or fail to create profitable end-products.
A second generation plasma reactor with optimized geometry and a carbon feeding system, along with engineering plans for an industrial minimum scalable unit.
If you are a chemical plant operator dealing with high CO2 emissions and expensive fossil feedstocks — this project developed a plasma-based conversion system that replaces oil and gas derivatives with recycled CO2 chemicals.
If you are a steel mill dealing with hard-to-abate point source emissions — this project developed a modular plasma reactor that splits CO2 into CO to create added value chemicals.
If you are a shipping fuel provider dealing with the need for carbon-neutral energy — this project developed a technology to recycle CO2 into e-fuels for the maritime industry.
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not disclosed, but the technology is described as one of the most profitable CO2 recycling solutions.
The project is currently developing its first industrial minimum scalable unit (MSU) as a step toward a first-of-a-kind (FOAK) installation.
The company utilizes a proprietary modular and scalable plasma technology spun off from the University of Antwerp.
It is designed as a point-source CCU technology that can be deployed in a decentralized manner to provide resource independence.
The project runs from 2024-07-01 to 2026-06-30, focusing on ready-to-manufacture engineering plans for the next scale-up equipment.
The project is led by a single Belgian SME, D-CRBN, which is a spin-off from the University of Antwerp. With a 100% industry ratio, the focus is entirely on commercialization and industrial implementation rather than academic research.
