Start-up SeaO2 secures €2+ million investment to extract 1 gigaton of CO2 out of the sea by 2045
Dutch startup SeaO2, specialising in innovative carbon (CO2) removal technology from seawater, announces receiving €2+ million in new investments. Utilising its breakthrough Direct Ocean Capture (DOC) technology, which efficiently extracts CO2 from seawater, SeaO2 aims to mitigate climate change by returning carbon-free water to the ocean, enhancing its ability to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere. This funding will accelerate the development of its pioneering technology and support the goal of removing one megaton of CO2 by 2030 and a gigaton by 2045.
The recent investment round attracted support from prominent investors, including DOEN Participaties, NEW-TTT fund, Future Tech Ventures, CarbonFix, angel investors Eduard Talman and Siddharth Kambe and others. This €2+ million funding will facilitate the transition from prototype to pilot plant, enhance team capabilities, and implement a comprehensive Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification system. The pilot plant is expected to have an annual capacity of 250 tons of CO2 and is scheduled for launch in the summer of 2025.
