Zwijndrecht, 30 June 2025 — SDS Separation B.V., a Dutch pioneer in Point Source Carbon Capture (PSCC) technology, is proud to announce that it has completed a Series A financing round totalling €2 million. With this investment, SDS Separation will install its first systems at customer sites, increase production capacity and develop the technology for broader applications.

The financing round was closed with, among others, Percival Participations, Invest-NL and the current management. The validation and pilot phase will be completed within 1.5 years, with the financiers expressing their intention to contribute another €3 million in a follow-up round for the commercial roll-out.

SDS Separation develops and manufactures compact, modular systems designed to capture harmful pollutants—such as CO₂—directly from industrial sources emitting up to 100,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually. This segment of small and mid-sized emitters, long underserved by traditional large-scale capture technologies, represents a vast and largely untapped global market.

With this innovative technology, SDS Separation is able to make installations significantly smaller, more efficient and more cost-effective than existing alternatives. In doing so, the company offers a practical route for a wide range of industrial players to substantially reduce their CO₂ emissions — a crucial step towards climate neutrality.

Albert van Pabst, CEO of SDS Separation, explains:
"This financing round will enable us to industrialise our technology and roll out the first commercial installations. The strong interest from investors confirms the urgency and market potential of scalable solutions for small-scale CO₂ sources."

Bart Boogaard, investment manager at Invest-NL, adds:
"CO₂ capture is indispensable for a carbon-neutral industry. Even in the long term, there will be industrial processes that we cannot fully electrify. SDS Separation is developing an efficient and compact total solution for small to medium-sized industrial installations where conventional technology is not applicable or cost-effective. This makes this investment both strategically and socially relevant.”

About SDS Separation
Since its foundation in 2018, SDS Separation has been developing innovative technologies that help reduce industrial emissions and make processes more efficient and sustainable. Removing harmful contaminants such as CO₂ from gases is essential to enable further processing, but traditional separation solutions are often large, expensive and inflexible. SDS Separation offers compact, modular plug-and-play solutions for CO₂ capture that deliver better performance at lower investment and operating costs.

With a strong focus on circular and biobased applications, SDS Separation offers scalable and robust systems for industries including chemicals, food, pharmaceuticals and waste processing. Our modular approach guarantees flexibility in design and performance — with minimal integration time, limited maintenance requirements and a short payback period.

Thanks to our in-depth technical expertise, continuous R&D and strategic partnerships, we deliver not only technology but also integrated services. SDS Separation offers full-service CO₂ capture solutions, including transport and reuse, that seamlessly integrate with existing and new installations. In this way, we are actively contributing to a more efficient and climate-friendly industry.

The SDS Separation RotaScrub ^® is a highly efficient solution for gas washing or scrubbing. Based on the proprietary separation technology of the RotaSep^®, RotaScrub ^® adds a specific surface area up to 10 times higher than the next best solution and uses up to 30% less scrubbing liquid. This results in RotaScrub ^® being up to 10 times smaller than the conventional packed scrubber beds, making it the most compact, robust, and efficient scrubbing solutions on the market.

The benefits of the RotaScrub ^® Upgrade of the Medium-Pressure Inerts Washing System of a SnamprogettiTM Urea Plant are:

• Increase safety standards (intrinsically safe design against explosions)
• Reduce ammonia emissions from 2-4 vol% to 0.2-0.4vol% (90% efficiency) based on one co-current RotaScrub ^® or to 0.02 to 0.04% based on two RotaScrub ^® unit in series.
• Reduce NOx emissions in case inerts stream is used as fuel
• Reduce ammonia consumption figures of your urea plant
