Nestled in Antwerp’s industrial heartland, D-CRBN is a deep-tech spin-off of the University of Antwerp that has devised a plasma-based process to split carbon dioxide (CO₂) into usable carbon monoxide (CO) . Founded in 2021 by seasoned European researchers and entrepreneurs, the company positions CO₂ not as waste but as feedstock for fuels, chemicals and polymers .
By coupling its patented reactor design with renewable power, D-CRBN aims to deliver a modular, on-demand Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) solution that can be switched on rapidly to match variable clean energy availability .
This analysis answers: How does D-CRBN's plasma-based process split CO2 into usable carbon monoxide as feedstock for fuels, chemicals and polymers? How does coupling its patented reactor with renewable power enable modular, on-demand carbon capture and utilisation? What dual-use potential and European market strategy follow from its University of Antwerp spin-off origins? What readiness level, IP and capability gaps characterise its profile?
