Global energy company GE Vernova will roll out its solid sorbent direct air capture (DAC) technology at Deep Sky Alpha’s Innisfail site in Alberta, Canada, marking the company’s first field deployment. The unit, scheduled to begin operating in 2026, will capture up to 1,500 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.
Canada-based Deep Sky is a cross-technology carbon removal hub which began operating in August 2025. According to CEO Alex Petre, the hub offers “end-to-end deployment, operations, renewable power and CO2 storage for DAC technologies.”
The company will deploy GE Vernova’s solid sorbent technology, which captures CO2 molecules from the air when it passes through the DAC capture unit. The CO2 is then released through temperature, pressure, and concentration swings in a process called desorption.
After it has been separated from other air gases through this cycle, the CO2 can be compressed and transported for storage and the sorbent material inside the capture unit is cooled using piped water so it can be reused in the next cycle.
