Dutch startup SeaO₂, specializing in innovative technology for carbon removal (CO₂) from seawater, has raised €2+ million. Using its pioneering Direct Ocean Capture (DOC) technology, which efficiently removes CO₂ from seawater, the company aims to combat climate change by returning carbon-free water to the ocean, allowing it to absorb more CO₂ from the atmosphere. This funding accelerates the development of SeaO₂’s innovative technology and contributes to the goal of removing 1 megaton of CO₂ by 2030 and 1 gigaton of CO₂ by 2045.
Comprehensive system
Participating in the recent investment round are prominent investors such as DOEN Participations, NEW-TTT fund, Future Tech Ventures, CarbonFix, informal investors Eduard Talman and Siddharth Kambe, and others. This €2+ million investment will enable the transition from prototype to pilot plant and a comprehensive system for monitoring, reporting, and verification. Team capacity will also be strengthened. The test plant is expected to have an annual capacity of 250 tons of CO₂ and is scheduled for launch in summer 2025.
