GE Vernova and Deep Sky, the world’s first technology-agnostic carbon removal project developer, have signed an agreement to deploy GE Vernova’s Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology at Deep Sky Alpha in Alberta, Canada. GE Vernova’s technology will be capable of capturing up to 1,500 tons of carbon per year. With operations scheduled to begin by late 2026, Alpha will deploy GE Vernova’s proprietary solid sorbent technology, developed and rigorously tested at the company’s Advanced Research Centers.
Located in Innisfail, Alberta, Deep Sky Alpha is the world’s first cross-technology carbon removal hub which became operational in August 2025.
Commenting on the development, Brian Moran, Executive Director of GE Vernova’s DAC program, said, “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. 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.”
GE Vernova DAC solutions couple innovative technology with resilient global supply chains that enable rapid deployment, as well as integrated systems engineering that improves energy use, harnesses waste heat, and ensures reliable operations at scale.
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.
