Overview

Deep Sky builds infrastructure to scale CO2 removal using direct air capture and ocean capture, storing the CO2 underground in Quebec with the help of local clean energy and geology. DAC and ocean devices collect CO2 from air and seawater, and the gas is permanently sequestered to create verifiable carbon removals. The company differentiates itself by emphasizing durable, scalable Scope 3 removals, working with government bodies, communities, and partner capture firms to deploy large facilities powered by Quebec’s clean energy. Its goal is to provide long-term, verifiable carbon offsets for the next 150 years to help governments and companies meet climate goals.

  • Low Carbon PPA secures renewable energy, reducing operational costs and improving margins.

What critics are saying

  • Climeworks Project Indus captures 36,000 tonnes annually at lower cost, eroding premium pricing.
  • Voluntary carbon credit prices crashed 40% due to oversupply from new DAC entrants.
  • Manitoba regulatory probe into ocean acidification risks halts Deep Sky Manitoba permitting indefinitely.

What makes Deep Sky unique

  • Tech-agnostic model deploys multiple DAC technologies simultaneously, reducing single-technology risk.
  • Vertically integrated operations control capture, storage, and power across Canadian facilities.
  • Secured geologic storage sites in Quebec and Manitoba with permanent CO₂ mineralization capability.
