## Overview
Founded in 2021 by Gill Scheltjens (https://techwiki.ai/people/gill-scheltjens/llms.txt), Georgi Trenchev (https://techwiki.ai/people/georgi-trenchev/llms.txt), and David Ziegler (https://techwiki.ai/people/david-ziegler/llms.txt) as a spin-off from the University of Antwerp (https://techwiki.ai/cities/antwerp/llms.txt), D-CRBN develops plasma-based point-source CO2-to-CO conversion reactors. The process uses patented plasma chemistry to break captured CO2 into carbon monoxide, a versatile industrial chemical used in steel production, methanol synthesis, polymer manufacturing, and e-fuel production.

In January 2024, D-CRBN launched the world's first commercially viable pilot plasma reactor. In March 2024, it received a EUR 2.5M grant from the European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator, one of only 4% of full applications selected in that funding round, and the only Belgian company chosen in that cohort.

The company is based at BlueChem (https://techwiki.ai/hubs/bluechem/llms.txt), Antwerp (https://techwiki.ai/cities/antwerp/llms.txt)'s major industrial chemicals cluster, giving it proximity to the industrial clients it targets. D-CRBN was named Most Disruptive Innovator in the Deloitte Fast 50 Belgium 2024 ranking.
