Located in Innisfail, Alberta, Deep Sky Alpha is the world’s first cross-technology carbon removal hub which became operational in August 2025.
“We are excited about this first-of-its-kind collaboration, which marks an important step in advancing GE Vernova’s scalable, energy-efficient DAC solutions,” said Brian Moran, Executive Director of GE Vernova’s DAC program. “While the technology and industry are still emerging, collaborations like this, built on shared ambition and complementary strengths, have the potential to transform the future of carbon removal.”
To further support the success of the Deep Sky Alpha project and future deployments, GE Vernova recently commissioned a 10-ton per year DAC test facility at their Advance Research Center in Niskayuna, New York. This system will play a pivotal role in demonstrating the capabilities of both the sorbent materials and the overall DAC technology, building confidence in its reliability and performance at the pilot stage and laying the groundwork for successful commercial-scale deployment.
“Deep Sky is the only place in the world offering end-to-end deployment, operations, renewable power and CO2 storage for DAC technologies, all in real world conditions,” said Alex Petre, CEO of Deep Sky. “GE Vernova entering this space underscores the growing momentum and urgency for DAC as a climate solution. We’re proud to welcome their unit to Deep Sky Alpha and to serve as the proving ground that sets the pace for the industry’s growth.”
The collaboration between Deep Sky and GE Vernova represents an important first step in deploying this innovative technology at speed and scale. It sets the foundation for future commercial-scale DAC projects in Canada, and internationally, as both organisations focus on the scale-up and industrialisation of these solutions.
