D-CRBN uses plasma technology to split CO2 into carbon monoxide and oxygen. The carbon monoxide can be used as feedstock for a range of useful materials such as sustainable fuels, polymers and other chemicals.
Three innovative start-ups are proving that carbon emissions don’t have to be waste—they can be resources. These UpLink Top Innovators are transforming CO2 into materials used in daily life.
D-CRBN makes CO2 a new industrial feedstock
Using plasma technology, D-CRBN splits CO2 into carbon monoxide and oxygen. This process creates feedstock for fuels, polymers, and chemicals, offering heavy industry a cleaner alternative to oil and gas.
Dioxycle creates ethylene from CO2 using electrolysis
Dioxycle uses recycled CO2, water, and renewable electricity to produce ethylene—a building block of plastics and textiles—while avoiding the high emissions of traditional methods.
Gasgene turns industrial off-gas into sustainable fuels
Gasgene employs carbon-sequestering bacteria to convert waste CO2 into carbon-negative chemicals and aviation fuels, helping heavy industries reduce their footprint.
All three are part of UpLink’s innovation ecosystem, joining forces with industry leaders and investors to fast-track climate solutions.
Watch the video to see how these breakthroughs are pushing heavy industry toward a circular, net-zero future.
