Invest-NL Funds SDS Separation for CO₂ Capture Advancements
Amsterdam, Monday, 30 June 2025.
Invest-NL has injected €1 million into SDS Separation as part of a €2 million funding to boost compact CO₂ capture tech, paving the way for commercial installations across various industries.
Invest-NL’s Strategic Investment
Invest-NL, the Dutch state-owned investment agency, has directed €1 million into SDS Separation as part of a €2 million Series A financing round. This funding effort includes contributions from Percival Participation and the company’s management team, highlighting a collaborative effort to advance point source carbon capture (PSCC) technology. This strategic investment exemplifies a larger trend within the EU to support innovative carbon capture solutions that cater to industries with smaller emissions footprints, specifically those releasing up to 100,000 tons of CO₂ annually [1][2].
Focus on Carbon Capture Technology
SDS Separation, based in the Netherlands, develops compact, modular installations designed to capture CO₂ directly from industrial emissions, addressing a largely underserved market segment. By utilizing compact and energy-efficient systems, SDS Separation makes CO₂ reduction more accessible and economically viable for small to medium-sized enterprises across various sectors, including chemicals, ceramics, and food processing [3][4].
Scaling Up For Broader Impact
The funds will enable SDS Separation to implement their first commercial installations, enhance production capabilities, and expand the applicability of their technology to a wider range of industrial contexts. This is a pivotal step in transitioning towards a carbon-neutral industry, as conventional systems are less effective or economically feasible for smaller emitters. The company’s initiatives align with the EU’s strategic objectives for sustainable industrial practices [1][3].
Future Prospects and Industry Impact
This investment aligns with the broader trend of facilitating decarbonization within the industry. The €3 million further commitment from investors for commercial-scale rollout underscores the market’s faith in SDS Separation’s potential. This is a testament to the significance of scalable and efficient carbon capture solutions essential for countering climate change [1][4].
