Update Carbyon project
Carbyon develops machines that can capture CO2. The basic technology behind this is called direct air capture (DAC), or capturing CO2 from the ambient air. This CO2 can then be recycled, e.g. to make fuel-based transport carbon neutral. Or, it can be stored away, e.g. in empty gas fields, to prevent it from returning to the atmosphere.
Collaboration
Carbyon uses TNO technology that is now being further developed, at the basis of which is a breakthrough air-permeable membrane that has been modified to absorb CO2 when air is blown through it. This membrane has very favorable properties to make DAC economically viable, but the actual modification process is a deep-tech challenge. Carbyon found the knowledge and skills for this at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). Here, techniques developed for the semiconductor industry are being adapted for our DAC application. Via our Eindhoven Engine collaboration, we developed the right ‘recipe’ to do this together with TU/e.
In the same collaboration, we are working with DIFFER on methods to ensure that the CO2 absorbed by the membrane can also be removed again. With its extensive expertise in this area, DIFFER has helped to demonstrate an efficient process for this.
In the meantime, Carbyon has realized lab-scale setups from this collaboration, which demonstrate the working principle of our DAC machines. Without the help of our Eindhoven Engine partners this would not have been possible.
We are happy our second project has been selected in the OpenCall 2022. We now can continue the success of this collaboration, to mature this development even faster. All of our partners are now deeply convinced that we need to massively scale up even faster to make a serious impact on climate change.

Innovation loop
With a background in Biomedical Engineering I am pleased to be able to work in this inspiring multidisciplinary environment. This new role complements my current position at Máxima MC where I work on projects mainly focusing on remote patient management, remote care and rehabilitation. By being part of this collaboration I am looking forward to connecting with students, researchers and other project members to set up an innovation loop, where we will work on a development platform at TU/e together with industry partners, and validate use cases in a clinical setting.
Do you want to share some thoughts or are you interested in joining this team? I am present at Disruptor @TU/e campus on Fridays! Look forward to meeting you!
