Deep Sky, a Canadian carbon removal project developer, has partnered with Carbyon, a Netherlands-based direct air capture (DAC) company, to pilot DAC technology in Canada.

As part of this partnership, Carbyon will deliver and install two Air Processing Units (APUs), each with the capacity to remove up to 50 tons of CO2 per annum.

DeepSky will test Carbyon’s APUs at its Alpha Lab test facility in Quebec and gather details such as carbon dioxide removal, energy consumption, and more. 

Carbyon is developing a fast-swing process using a modular machine that contains a proprietary sorbent material which efficiently captures CO2 out of the atmosphere. The company aims to capture CO2 at a cost rate below EUR 100 (USD 107) per ton. 

Analyst QuickTake: DeepSky entered similar DAC pilot projects with NEG8 Carbon , an Irish DAC startup, and Greenlyte Carbon Technologies , a German DAC startup, at its Alpha Lab test facility. NEG8 Carbon delivered a DAC APU with a capacity to remove 300 tons of CO2 and Greenlyte delivered a DAC unit with an expected capacity to remove 100 tons of CO2, respectively.
