The Montreal-based company is partnering with Equatic, a California carbon-capture tech firm, to install an electrolyzer at its test plant located in the east of the province. Deep Sky is looking to capture CO2 by separating it from seawater, an experimental process developed at a California university. (The Logic)

Talking point: The electrolyzer technology will bring a direct-air-capture (DAC) element to Deep Sky’s operations. Equatic uses DAC, a process where carbon is sucked directly out of the atmosphere, to immobilize CO2 in the form of solid minerals or bicarbonate ions. Using the technology, Deep Sky initially expects to trap 365 tonnes of carbon per year before scaling up. The deal is just the latest agreement Deep Sky has signed, after partnering earlier this year with California’s Captura, Vancouver’s Svante Technologies and Elon Musk’s XPrize. The startup led by Hopper co-founders Fred Lalonde and Joost Ouwerkerk remains early in the demonstration phase, but has lofty goals to sequester billions of tons of carbon using its technology.
