Deep Sky aims to become the world’s first gigaton-scale carbon removal company.
Their goal is to permanently remove and store billions of tons of carbon from the atmosphere underground.
The company brings together the most promising direct air capture and ocean capture technologies under one roof.
This allows the company to supply large volumes of high-quality carbon credits to the market and commercialize carbon removal solutions.
Their facilities will be powered by renewable energy and located in Quebec – a region with abundant hydroelectric power and geography suitable for carbon capture and storage.
With C$75M in new Series A funding, Deep Sky is poised to rapidly scale up gigaton-level carbon removal in Canada.
Their ambitious goals combined with support from major investors signals exciting progress in the fight against climate change.
