Montreal-based Deep Sky Corp. operates its Deep Sky Alpha direct air capture facility near Innisfail, Alberta, where it pulls carbon dioxide from the air, stores it underground, and sells offset credits to buyers including TD Bank Group, Microsoft Corp., and Royal Bank of Canada. The company utilizes a refundable federal tax credit covering up to 60 percent of eligible spending on direct air capture equipment through the end of 2035. GE Vernova Inc., a U.S.-based partner, is bringing a machine to the Alpha site designed to capture up to 1,500 tonnes of carbon annually by late 2026.
