Between 1998 and 2007, Bentzen worked for the major Danish consulting company COWI. Bentzen continued to collaborate with the Technical University, about optimizing and upscale of the gasification technology. In 2000 Bentzen filed a patent about the upscale high efficient gasification process (patent number WO 01/68789 A1). In 2004 was a licensagreement between COWI and a Danish boiler manufacturer. Between 2005 and 2008 was a pilot plant of the gasification process built and tested. Between 2009 and 2013 was a full scale demonstration plant built in Hillerød.

In 2006 Bentzen made a new invention about increased efficiency of biomass combustion plants, and a patent application was made (Patent number WO 2007/036236 A1). After negotiations with COWI and potential partners mr. Bentzen founded Dall Energy in 2007, with seed investment from Spraying Systems, and bought the patent application from COWI.Since 2007 Bentzen has been the managing director of Dall Energy.

Bentzen won the European Inventor Award (SME category) in 2011, [1] and the Bluetech Award in 2017.[ citation needed ]
