This summer the VITO4STARTERS stage at Love Tomorrow was set for startups to showcase their visions for a sustainable tomorrow. D-CRBN captivated us with their innovative approach to tackling carbon emissions, winning €20,000 in technological support from VITO out of the three prices! D-CRBN tackles carbon emissions by recycling captured CO2 into carbon monoxide (CO) through their unique plasma-based technology. Their process turns CO2 into valuable products like e-fuels, polymers, and chemicals. By offering a profitable, sustainable, and flexible CO2 recycling solution, D-CRBN transforms harmful CO2 into business opportunities for the petrochemical, steel, and maritime industries. Their work is paving the way for a circular carbon economy and a net-zero future. 🌍 Gill Scheltjens Frederik Selhorst Read D-CRBN's reflections on the Love Tomorrow Conference 👉 https://lnkd.in/e5sJZP8p #VITO4STARTERS #VITO #Innovation #Sustainability #CarbonRecycling #CircularEconomy #Entrepreneurship Nils Wuytens Charlotte Struye
