Ongoing projects
From Mexico to Guatemala
ProPetapa
Guatemala
ProPetapa is a drinking water project in Guatemala City. Together with a local partner, Dutch Clean Tech is developing several water sources for clean drinking water. The water is supplied to the ProPetapa industrial estate and to the water company EMPAGUA, which uses it to supply households with drinking water.
The first phase consists of three water sources, expandable to five. The project has been completed. The total investment is €3 million, and DCT holds a 50% stake.
Agua del Mariscal
Guatemala
Agua del Mariscal is an investment in the oldest private drinking water company in Central America, with existing infrastructure and a strong position in the local water supply. Under its previous owners, the company had fallen behind. The current partners are modernising the infrastructure and operations, with the aim of increasing the value of the business.
Dutch Clean Tech holds a 25% stake; the total investment is approximately €21 million.

Cancún
Mexico
Cancún is a large-scale water and environmental project with an investment of approximately €105 million. The project consists of three components: processing of sargassum (seaweed), from which valuable raw materials are recovered; production of biogas from organic waste from hotels and households; and three water treatment plants. The treated wastewater can be reused, for example for irrigation.
DCT holds a 100% stake, and completion is planned for Q3 2028.
Agrogen
Mexico
Agrogen is a fertiliser producer in Querétaro, Mexico that depends on groundwater for its production. Because of falling groundwater levels, an alternative water supply was sought. The plan is to transport untreated wastewater from Querétaro to Agrogen via a pipeline. DCT is building a water treatment plant there that will treat this wastewater so that it can be reused in Agrogen's production. This reduces the dependence on groundwater.
Investment €10 million. Completion is planned for Q1 2028.
Sarat
Mexico
Sarat is a wastewater treatment and reuse project, with a 25-year concession to purchase wastewater. The water is treated and sold to companies that need water for their production processes.
The revenue model lies in purchasing, treating and supplying usable water. The investment is €46 million, and completion is planned for Q3 2028.
