Emerald Leads SGD 8 Million Investment in SG Enviro
SINGAPORE, Aug. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Emerald Technology Ventures, a global leader in climate-tech venture capital, has announced a strategic investment in SG Enviro (SGE), a Singapore-based industrial wastewater engineering firm. The SGD 8 million investment, led by Emerald, will support SGE's expansion across Southeast Asia and the development and integration of proprietary technologies in its solution portfolio.
Founded in 2018 by environmental engineer Guah Eng Hock, SGE specializes in designing, integrating, and operating industrial wastewater treatment technologies tailored to Southeast Asia's unique requirements.
Emerald's investment aligns with its strategy of fostering collaborations among its portfolio companies as well as corporates to accelerate the adoption of sustainable technologies. SGE will benefit from partnerships with other Emerald-backed global technology firms. It can differentiate itself by integrating leading edge technologies, while these tech companies benefit from accessing a growing yet distant market in SEA via a trusted partner.
“We look forward to connecting our global portfolio of water tech entrepreneurs with SG Enviro’s strong execution and operation capabilities,” said Dr. Helge Daebel, Head of Emerald’s Water Practice and new member of SGE’s Board. “Together, we can bring world-class solutions to Southeast Asia’s industries – where the need for water resilience has never been more urgent.”
SGE's notable projects include the deployment of a large-scale AOP at an oil storage facility in Singapore, treating thousands of cubic meters of phenol-laden wastewater daily. The company has also secured contracts for retrofitting biogas wastewater systems at livestock farms and providing ongoing operations and maintenance services, establishing a recurring revenue model.
The investment will enable SGE to expand its footprint in Malaysia, Indonesia, and other Southeast Asian markets, where industrial wastewater treatment infrastructure is in high demand.
“This investment marks a significant milestone for us,” said Guah Eng Hock, Founder and CEO. “Emerald’s network will help us to scale up and create real impact across Southeast Asia.”
