Inventys closes US$5M investment from BDC as part of Series C Fundraising Round

/in , , /by

The advanced CO₂ capture technology company has now secured total proceeds to date of US$16M received under the planned US$21M Series C Financing Round, which was led by OGCI Climate Investments, alongside existing investors The Roda Group and Chevron Technology Ventures

Vancouver, February 6, 2019 — Inventys today announced that it has formally closed on an investment of US$5M from BDC’s Cleantech Practice, initially received on December 28, 2018, as well as an additional follow-on investment from existing shareholder Chevron Technology Ventures. This brings total proceeds received under the Series C Financing, which was led by OGCI Climate Investments, to US$16M out of a total round of US$21M. Inventys is targeting a close of the final US$5M under the Series C round prior to June 30, 2019, in order to fully fund its corporate program through 2020.

The funds will be used to complete the Company’s 30-tonne-per-day (TPD) CO₂ capture demonstration plant project with Husky Energy, currently in the final construction stages and due to begin operations in Q2-2019.

“Inventys is showing they have the expertise, the vision, and the technological approach to develop the CO₂ marketplace and to help tackle climate change,” says Susan Rohac, Vice President, BDC Cleantech Practice. “Inventys is in an excellent position to scale up its technology platform and play a leading role in strengthening the carbon value chain.”

The partnership between Inventys and BDC’s Cleantech Practice will allow Inventys to reach its goal of commercializing a first-of-its-kind, industrial-scale CO₂ capture plant by the end of 2020. The investment is part of BDC’s $700-million, five-year commitment announced in 2018 to help high-potential Canadian cleantech firms with market-ready technology or products meet the capital-intensive needs of scaling and achieving timely growth.

“At Inventys, we see a real opportunity to put CO2 to work and to build a CO₂ marketplace where gigatonnes of CO₂ are traded between emitters and users,” said Inventys President and CEO Claude Letourneau. “Inventys’ solution is focusing on distributed CO₂ supply using modular plant designs.”

A key building block for unlocking the growth of the CO₂ marketplace is shifting the carbon capture cost curve down by at least a factor of two from conventional technology (chemical solvents). Inventys found a way to do this with advanced solid adsorbent nanomaterials, combined with a novel modular compact contactor, to capture CO₂ from very dilute post-combustion flue gases (from industrial processes and gas-fired power plants).
