Deep Sky Alpha, located in Innisfail, Alberta, has officially begun operations, marking North America’s first sequestration of CO₂ captured directly from the atmosphere. Developed by Deep Sky, Canada’s leading carbon removal project developer, the five-acre facility achieved operational status in only 12 months.
Powered entirely by solar, Alpha integrates multiple direct air capture technologies to remove 3,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually, storing emissions permanently in saline aquifers. The project created over 110 construction jobs and will employ 15 full-time operators. Alberta officials hailed the milestone as proof of the province’s capacity to attract world-class climate innovation.
