A first-of-a-kind project in Canada will validate our technology for gigatonne-scale commercial deployment.
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 Labs test facility in Quebec. Scheduled for deployment in 2024, 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.

Process
Mineralisation
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.
On a mission to scale a carbon removal hub in Canada, Deep Sky is wasting no time in gathering together the world’s top DAC technologies. By deploying our heat-free electrochemical DAC system, they are investing in the carbon removal route with the highest possible energy efficiency and smallest land footprint.
We partner with pioneering CO₂ users, project developers, engineers, and scientists around the world to turn historic carbon waste into new climate value.
