Worley to engineer D-CRBN renewable syngas demo plant in Antwerp
- D-CRBN selected Worley to provide engineering services for a renewable syngas demonstration plant in Antwerp, Belgium.
- The plant will use D-CRBN's plasma technology to convert carbon dioxide and biomethane into renewable syngas for fuels, plastics and chemicals.
- The modular demonstration plant is sized to produce 200 tonnes of renewable syngas per year and to support a future commercial plant of about 10,000 tonnes per year.
- Worley's scope includes plant design plus safety and cost studies and builds on prior work on syngas purification, reactor scale-up and industrial planning.
Project scope
Worley has been selected to deliver engineering services for D-CRBN's renewable syngas demonstration plant in Antwerp, Belgium. The assignment includes the plant design and the safety and cost studies needed to support construction.
Technology
The plant will apply D-CRBN's plasma technology, which uses electricity to convert carbon dioxide and biomethane into renewable syngas. That syngas can be used to produce lower‑carbon fuels, plastics and other chemicals.
Capacity and scalability
The modular demonstration unit is designed to produce 200 tonnes of renewable syngas per year and to provide operational data and an engineering foundation for a future commercial plant with an approximate annual capacity of 10,000 tonnes.
Partnership background
Worley's engineering scope extends an existing partnership with D-CRBN; it previously supported concept development for the syngas purification stream, reactor scale‑up assessment and industrial planning and will apply its gas separation and multidisciplinary engineering experience to scale the proprietary plasma process into an integrated, safe demonstration unit.
