The Montreal-based company plans to test an array of direct air capture technologies at the site, located about 100 kilometres north of Calgary. Deep Sky, launched by Hopper founder Fred Lalonde, said it would capture around 3,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year at the facility, where it will pilot up to 10 technologies developed by firms like U.K.-based Airhive, Quebec’s Skyrenu and others. (The Logic)

Talking point: The project comes online as the wider cleantech industry grapples with U.S. tariffs and the Trump administration’s reversal of green subsidies. Deep Sky itself has had to weather the departures of CEO Damien Steel in May and chief science officer Phil De Luna in July. This summer, the Alberta government gave Deep Sky $5 million to help the company finish building the facility. As The Logic has reported, Deep Sky has lofty ambitions to cut back global CO2 emissions using direct air capture technology—even if those ambitions aren’t always backed by hard numbers.
