We are located at the Port of Antwerp, the largest chemical cluster in Europe. This strategic location allows us to focus on port applications for the petrochemical, metallurgical, and maritime transport sector. D-CRBN has developed partnerships with industrial companies with specific expertise throughout the complete value chain. D-CRBN’s Carbon Capture & Utilization (CCU) approach is building upon existing Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) projects.
D-CRBN offers a fully electrified chemical batch process that runs on renewable energy which can be turned on & off like a light switch. Trimming the energy costs of converting the feedstock into green added value products during off-peak moments will make the process profitable, sustainable, and flexible. Storing renewable electricity into the chemical bonds of molecules could provide long-term energy storage.
