GE Vernova to deploy pioneering Direct Air Capture technology at Deep Sky Alpha in Canada

NEW YORK CITY (September 24, 2025) - GE Vernova and Deep Sky, the world's first technology-agnostic carbon removal project developer, announced 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.

"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."

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. 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 organizations focus on the scale-up and industrialization of these solutions.

Together, GE Vernova and Deep Sky are committed to developing and deploying cutting-edge carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies. High-quality CDR is essential for achieving emissions goals. DAC removes carbon dioxide (CO₂) directly from the atmosphere using chemical processes. Unlike capturing emissions at their source (like power plants or industrial facilities), DAC removes CO₂ from ambient air, which makes it useful for addressing residual emissions and emissions from sources that are hard-to-abate, such as aviation, shipping, or heavy industry.
