Our solutions

Clean water, without barriers

‍

Access to clean water is often held back by two key barriers: a lack of capital and a lack of the right technology. Dutch Clean Tech tackles both.

No CAPEX required

A fully financed solution

Dutch Clean Tech delivers water infrastructure without a large upfront investment (CAPEX). Working with governments and partners, we finance, design, build and operate the water solution, typically for a period of at least 25 years. The end user pays for the water service delivered, including predictable operating costs.

Proven technology

60+ years of expertise as our foundation

Water projects worldwide regularly fall short on performance and continuity. Dutch Clean Tech deliberately chooses long-term quality. With the knowledge of our sister company Pielkenrood and more than 1,000 installations delivered worldwide, we select proven technology for every project, ensuring reliable and effective performance.

Flexible contracts

A model that adapts to every project

Every project calls for a tailored approach. That’s why we adapt contract terms, financing, capacity and operations to local conditions and our partners’ needs. Together with governments and industry partners, we develop viable, long-term solutions built on clear agreements and predictable costs.

Ongoing projects

From Mexico to Guatemala

Construction work on the ProPetapa project

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.

Water treatment plant in the capital of Guatemala

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.

A large-scale water and environmental project in Cancún

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 is a fertiliser producer in Querétaro, Mexico

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 is a wastewater treatment and reuse project.

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.
