Belgian start-up D-CRBN is making waves with its CO2-to-CO conversion technology. Partnering with ArcelorMittal and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, D-CRBN is testing its plasma-based system at ArcelorMittal’s Ghent plant. This innovative tech could transform steel production by recycling CO2 into valuable carbon monoxide, reducing reliance on coke and metallurgical coal.   Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ePbjTFax   If you can’t access the full article, it might be because you’re not subscribed.

The Later Stage Innovation (LSI) project HyPPr ended in mid-2023. This Flanders Industry Innovation Moonshot project in the program ’Energy Innovation’ was followed by the creation of the technology startup Solhyd, which seeks social impact with a widely deployable hydrogen panel. At the heart of Solhyd, there is an incredibly innovative technology that produces hydrogen from ambient air and sunlight. As hydrogen gas will play an increasingly important role in the energy landscape, hydrogen panels could serve us all well. In this interview, CEO Jan Rongé talks about their challenges today and the role Flanders Industry Innovation Moonshot played. https://lnkd.in/emmkNmbw #hydrogen #energyinnovation #hydrogenpanel #Moonshot

Join us on Oct. 11 for a short guided visit to the TRANSfarm site of KU Leuven. The tour, organised by TRANSfarm KU Leuven and Flanders' FOOD, will show the research activities of the project 'CropExplore 4 Farmers'. The tour also includes a visit of the BIOCON reactor (Biorefinery technology). Registration is free. https://lnkd.in/eMChuUEX.

Join us for an exclusive matching event: bridging knowledge and demand for knowledge for the chemical industry within the trilateral region. This unique matching event is tailored for those pioneering new knowledge and insights that have matured to a point where they are ripe for application on a pilot/demo scale (TRL 5+). Each participant will have the opportunity to tap into the wealth of knowledge and experience within the regions, addressing their inquiries and engaging in collaborative brainstorming with peers. Moreover, participants can seize the chance to spotlight their expertise among interested parties. A joint organization by essenscia, Departement Economie, Wetenschap en Innovatie (EWI), Catalisti , VNCI, ChemistryNL, German Chemical Industry Association VCI. FOR WHOM? Knowledge institutions with groundbreaking technologies/processes ready for pilot/demo testing. Companies with knowledge queries seeking answers from other industry players. Start-ups/scale-ups on the lookout for partners to propel their initiatives forward. Companies with sustainability concepts eager to test them within a collaborative peer setting. Entities seeking insights into "where specific knowledge" is actively being developed. Parties keen on brainstorming with the most advanced knowledge partners for innovative solution directions. Parties looking for value chain partners for a specific product or project. https://lnkd.in/ejHF9Q3F

💡 ESSSC-project: Request for Industrial Partners! ➡ Topic: Electrochemical syngas by co-electrolysis of H₂O and CO₂ using versatile SOEC technology for steel making and chemical industry. 🤝 To complete the consortium, Catalisti is searching for additional industrial partners to use the developed technology within the chemical industry. Specifically, the consortium is seeking industrial partners who (i) have expertise in syngas usage, or (ii) have significant CO₂ emissions and are eager to implement SOEC technology in their processes.

Our member Borealis has opened its call for submissions for its Borealis Scientific Innovation Award 2024. This edition Borealis is looking for new solutions for the sustainable production and use of plastics. This includes e.g. new catalysts, energy-efficient polymerization processes, recycling of polymers, and polymeric materials for energy transition.

⚡ Press Release ⚡ World-first trial of D-CRBN’s technology to recycle CO₂ emissions from steel production begins at ArcelorMittal Belgium D-CRBN is thrilled to announce that we are piloting at ArcelorMittal in collaboration with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI). This trial involves testing D-CRBN’s technology to convert carbon dioxide (CO₂) captured at ArcelorMittal’s steel plant in Ghent, aiming to expand the scope of its ongoing carbon capture pilot project with MHI. D-CRBN’s technology can electrify and decarbonize existing blast furnaces and significantly reduce coal use. The conversion of CO₂ back into CO for steel production will limit the need for green hydrogen in the future and reduce the costs of emission-free products. We started from the bottom, and now we're here! D-CRBN was founded three years ago, emerging from a lab environment with a vision to transform and scale the CCU market. Today, we proudly announce that we are at TRL 6 and are working on our next scaling-up stage, our first commercial CO₂ recycling unit. In addition to our incredible D-CRBN team, we want to thank everyone from ArcelorMittal Belgium and MHI who has supported us along the way and made this project possible. Manfred Van Vlierberghe, Eric De Coninck, Marian Flores Granobles, Ph.D., Wim Van der Stricht, Sophie Evans, Jan Cornelis , Barbara De Lembre, Tessa De Groote, Tatsuto Nagayasu, ATSUSHI KATO, Dr.-Ing. Florian Möllenbruck, Hisaki Yamauchi, Eren Eryilmaz & Martin Reitbauer. Here's to many more milestones and continued growth! 🚀 #Pilotline #TRL6 #WorldFirst #trial #CO2recycling #CCU #SteelPlant #Belgium #Europe

Earlier this week the BluePlasma consortium held a meeting at the ArcelorMittal plant in Ghent. Afterwards we were invited for a tour of the grounds. Most of us were very impressed by the scale of the operations and the efforts to make them #circular. BluePlasma is a Catalisti project coordinated by D-CRBN that targets CCU with plasma technology: the conversion of carbon dioxide into its building block CO. From CO, a multitude of value added chemicals can be produced. The project aims to increase the TRL of plasma technology.

Catalisti organised the Moonshot Workshop about the LCA/TEA tool at BlueChem yesterday. We kindly thank all the participants for the lively interaction. Catalisti's Martijn Roosen covered the tool and also took the participants though a demo and real case. Flanders Industry Innovation Moonshot projects need to be able to demonstrate their significant positive impact on climate change. To guide project partners in evaluating sustainability right form the start, a methodological framework was developed last year. The application of this framework, that is based on the principles of both Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Techno-Economic Assessment (TEA), is now an obligatory work package in every Moonshot project. #LCA #TEA #Sustainability #Climatechange
