Deep Sky: Eliminating CO₂

A first-of-a-kind DAC demonstration in Canada

We are partnering with the visionary Canadian carbon removal project developer Deep Sky to provide a first-of-a-kind direct air capture (DAC) system for their Deep Sky Alpha test facility in Quebec. Scheduled to begin operations later this year, the containerised system will recover 250 tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere each year.

Deep Sky seeks to leverage Canada’s vast reserves of renewable hydroelectric energy to remove gigatonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere by the end of the decade. They are using our technology to demonstrate carbon removal on a small scale before eventually building commercial facilities that can capture between 100,000 and one million tons of CO₂ annually for permanent mineralisation.

Launching commercial carbon removal at scale

DAC+Mineralisation represents one of the most measurable and durable solutions for permanent carbon removal. By recovering atmospheric CO₂ and reacting it with rock to form minerals — which endure for millions of years — it provides a strong backbone for developing a credible carbon removal market. Yet, to scale high-quality carbon removals credits, you first need to scale high-quality DAC.
