PLASMA CLIMATE TECH
Industrial Carbon Conversion (CCU) to reach net-zero, at your plant
Our technology removes the need for carbon storage (CCS) and converts CO2 into valuable chemical molecules through plasma Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU).

CLOSE TO THE INDUSTRY
Antwerp, Belgium
Close to the beating heart of one of Europe’s largest industrial clusters, including chemical, petrochemicals, and logistics. We keep a finger on the pulse to what makes future-forward industrials tick and actively help industrials go net-zero.
Our cofounders
Gill Scheltjens
CEO and co-founder
As a chemical engineer with a PhD in plasma technology, Gill started out as a researcher at VITO. He successfully led a spin-off company working on molecular plasma expanding it from 2 to 30 people in only 5 years. While mentoring a student’s PhD working on carbon conversion, he realized the enormous potential for the industry. D-CRBN was born.
David Ziegler
CCO and co-founder
Entrepreneur with a strong drive to achieve a carbon-neutral society, David Ziegler is the co-founder of D-CRBN. As CCO, he defines the Sales & Marketing strategy of the company. His focus is to understand the challenges the different industrial partners are facing concerning their reduction of CO2 emissions. Ultimately, and together with them, the common goal is convert these environmental threats into a competitive scalable solution.
Georgi Trenchev
CTO and Co-founder
A physicist and engineer, Georgi Trenchev is the Chief Technology Officer. Shortly after completing his PhD in plasma-based CO2 conversion at the University of Antwerp, he co-founded D-CRBN. As CTO, he oversees the technology development, and implements the leading solutions from the scientific world.
Annemie Bogaerts
Head of research group PLASMANT and Co-founder
Annemie is head of the research group PLASMANT at UAntwerp, which counts ca. 50 researchers and lies at the basis of D-CRBN. She is worldwide authority in plasma chemistry and plasma-based CO2 conversion by experiments and modeling. She was the PhD supervisor of Georgi, and together with Gill and David, they cofounded D-CRBN. She is scientific advisor and member of the Board of Directors.
