Amsterdam, Tuesday, 1 July 2025.
Invest-NL commits €1 million to SDS Separation, aiding the Dutch startup to deploy initial CO₂ capture systems, enhancing sustainable solutions for small to mid-sized industrial emitters.

A Strategic Investment in Carbon Capture

Invest-NL, a Dutch investment agency committed to accelerating sustainable innovations, has allocated €1 million to SDS Separation B.V., a pioneer in Point Source Carbon Capture (PSCC) technology. This funding marks a significant step in the Series A round, which totals €2 million. The round also includes investments from Percival Participations and other stakeholders, highlighting the collective interest in advancing CO₂ reduction technologies in the industrial sector [3][7].

Revolutionizing the CO₂ Capture Market

Based in Zwijndrecht, the Netherlands, SDS Separation focuses on compact and cost-effective carbon capture solutions specifically designed for small to mid-sized industrial emitters producing up to 100,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually. Traditional capture solutions have often overlooked this segment, creating a significant market for SDS’s innovative technologies. Their systems are notably smaller and more efficient compared to traditional methods, thus providing a practical and economically viable option for industries like chemicals, food, pharmaceuticals, and waste processing [5][8].

Plans for Expansion and Technological Development

The current investment is primarily directed towards the validation and pilot phase of the technology, slated for completion by January 2027. Subsequent to this phase, there are plans for a further €3 million follow-up investment to support the commercial roll-out and enhancement of production capacities. The company aims to deploy initial systems at industrial sites, potentially revolutionizing the market with scalable carbon capture solutions [4].

Broader Implications and Future Outlook

This investment aligns with the broader objectives of both SDS Separation and Invest-NL to contribute actively toward a climate-neutral industry. Bart Boogaard, investment manager at Invest-NL, emphasizes the strategic and social relevance of this development in achieving carbon neutrality in sectors that are hard to fully electrify. SDS’s approach, which focuses on modular plug-and-play systems, promises minimal integration time and maintenance requirements, offering a swift return on investment for industries striving to meet regulatory and environmental targets [6][9].
