One year after the groundbreaking ceremony, Deep Sky reaches a global milestone in carbon removal
Deep SkyCanada’s leading project developer in the field of carbon removal, announced today that Deep Sky Alpha It was officially put into operation, which marks the successful start of carbon removal and the very first storage of CO₂, which was taken directly from the atmosphere, in North America.
Deep Sky Alpha is located in a 5 hectare site in an industrial park in Innisfail, Alberta, and made it from the groundbreaking to the company in just 12 months, which demonstrates the quick structure of a climate infrastructure. The system combines several direct-air capture technologies (DAC) and thus enables scalability, speed and innovation. Alpha enables real operation and the optimization of several technologies under identical conditions and thus accelerates the path of industry to cost -efficient, scalable carbon removal.
“This is a crucial moment, not only for Deep Sky, but also for the global carbon withdrawal industry,” said Alex Petre, Managing Director of Deep Sky. “In just one year we have passed from the first groundbreaking to pull carbon from heaven and keep it underground forever. Companies around the world are looking for high-quality, long-lasting carbon distances to compensate for your CO₂ footprints. With Deep Sky Alpha, we prove that it is not only possible, but is also already there.”
With this milestone, Deep Sky Alpha is the first DAC system in North America to store CO₂ underground. The CO₂ taken from Deep Sky Alpha is permanently underground in deep geological formations, the so-called saltes aquiferen, which are abundant in Alberta, stored, which makes it an important solution for difficult to avoid emissions and net zero obligations.
“Alberta is still a leader in the settlement of world-class innovations and this is another example for a company that has chosen our strong regulatory system and our commitment for a responsible development for Alberta,” said Rebecca Schulz, Minister of the Environment and Protection Areas. “We are proud that companies invest here – and thus once again prove that Alberta is the best place in the world to build, innovate and grow.”
The removed CO₂ comes from several direct-air capture systems from all over the world, which are installed this autumn and offer space for up to 10 plants. The companies that are currently being put into operation include the companies based in the United Kingdom Airhive and Mission Zero Technologies as well as the company based in Quebec Skyrene. Further DAC units will be installed this autumn and winter.
The strategic location of Deep Sky Alpha in Innisfail, Alberta, offers access to renewable energies and the proximity to permanent geological camps. The system, which is completely operated with solar energy, will capture 3000 tons of CO₂ annually. The project has created more than 110 jobs in the construction industry and will employ around 15 full -time forces. The progress in the withdrawal and storage of Alpha is continuously monitored with the company’s own software and published on the Deep Sky website.
Deep Sky Alpha is the first step in a worldwide project to eliminate carbon, which is developed by Deep Sky and in which major projects are already involved in Alberta, Quebec and beyond. The milestone builds on the latest $ 40 million funding from Deep Sky by Breakthrough Energy Catalyst and on buying agreements via emission credits with buyers such as Microsoft and the Royal Bank of Canada.
Deep Sky supports companies in fulfilling their decarbonizing obligations through highly integrated carbon removal certificates that are used to compensate for company emissions. While the credits for Deep Sky Alpha are already pre -sold, buyers who are interested in reserving credits from subsequent commercial projects can sales@deepskyclimate.com turn around.
Information about Deep Sky
The Montreal -based company Deep Sky is the world’s first developer of a technology -independent project for carbon removal, which aims to remove gigatons from the atmosphere and permanently store it underground. As a project developer, Deep Sky brings together the most promising companies for the direct removal of carbon in the air and in the sea under one roof to launch the largest range of high -quality carbon certificates and to commercialize and catalyze solutions for carbon removal and storage like never before. With a financing of $ 130 million, Deep Sky is supported by first -class investors such as Investissement Québec, Brightspark Ventures, Whitecap Venture Partners, Omers Ventures, BDC Climate Fund, Breakthrough Energy Catalyst, BMO, National Bank of Canada and others.
