Skytree funding news – Amsterdam-based Skytree Raises Investment from Division Q, Koppert Cress

Working closely with consultant agency Vijverberg, DivisionQ plans to integrate Skytree’s technology into the Koppert Cress’ energy systems, creating a robust and future-proof CO2 solution for greenhouse operations.

Skytree’s DAC systems extract CO2 directly from the atmosphere to stimulate photosynthesis of plants in greenhouses, boosting crop yield. Extensively tested at Wageningen University Research, Delphy, and Vertify, these Skytree DAC systems are now entering the mass production phase for deployment at greenhouses in the Netherlands, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

Rob van Straten (CEO at Skytree) said, “While greenhouse horticulture currently depends on fossil- derived CO₂ for optimal crop growth, our technology offers a game-changing alternative. By directly capturing CO₂ from the air at the greenhouse location, we provide growers with long term CO2 supply security at stable price levels. On top of that we enable more sustainable horticulture in The Netherlands and other countries by switching away from fossil fuel CO₂ sources, potentially eliminating many millions of tons of CO₂emitted to the atmosphere by greenhouses annually. We’re very excited that DivisonQ and Koppert Cress are leading the way in revolutionizing how greenhouses can transform into innovative, sustainable ecosystems and we’re thankful for their trust in our DAC technology.”
