## About

Founded in 2021 and based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, SeaO2 BV specializes in carbon dioxide removal technology. Ruben Brands (CEO), Rose Sharifian (CTO), and David Vermaas (CSA) are the co-founders of the company. In November 2024, SeaO2 raised EUR 2 million in seed funding from DOEN Participaties, NOM, Future Tech Ventures, and CarbonFix.

SeaO2 BV specializes in Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) technology, leveraging electrochemical methods to extract CO2 directly from seawater. The firm’s core offering is the Electrochemical Direct Ocean Capture (DOC) system, which utilizes renewable electricity and seawater to alter the carbonate equilibrium, facilitating CO2 extraction in a gaseous form. The captured CO2 can then be permanently stored in geological formations or utilized in various applications, including the production of alternative fuels and chemical products. The company's technology is designed to combat ocean acidification while promoting the reabsorption of CO2 into the atmosphere through decarbonized seawater. SeaO2's products primarily target industries that require carbon offset solutions, offering carbon credits to businesses seeking to neutralize their emissions. The company’s market focus includes various countries across Europe and North America, where businesses are increasingly adopting sustainable practices and carbon reduction strategies.

SeaO2's revenue generation model is primarily based on the sale of carbon credits and the provision of carbon removal services to businesses and industries seeking to offset their carbon emissions. Transactions between SeaO2 and its clients typically involve long-term partnerships where companies purchase carbon credits corresponding to the amount of CO2 removed from the atmosphere. These transactions include direct agreements with businesses in sectors such as manufacturing, food and beverages, and packaging.

The organization plans to use the November 2024 funding to enhance their technology and expand their market presence.
