See how GE Vernova's Gas Power business is helping to build a world that works.
Overview
Deep Sky set out to help advance one of Canada’s first commercial-scale direct air capture projects, designed to capture carbon dioxide from the air and store it permanently underground. To support this project, the company evaluated technologies that could meet performance standards, align with cost targets, and operate reliably in harsh, cold-weather conditions.
GE Vernova provided its modular solid sorbent direct air capture technology, bringing together sorbent expertise, rigorous testing capabilities, and manufacturing experience developed through first-principles research and engineering at its Advanced Research Center in Niskayuna, New York. The technology was selected as one of the systems to be tested at Deep Sky Alpha based on its promising performance, strong foundation in materials and process development, and potential for industrialization at larger scale. GE Vernova’s scope includes modular DAC units, engineered sorbent systems, and technical collaboration to support integration with site infrastructure, including balance of plant, utility supply, and water management systems.
Outcomes
Deep Sky Alpha is located in Innisfail, Alberta, and is designed as a testbed for multiple DAC technologies, with GE Vernova’s system forming a key component of the site. The facility will capture carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere and store it permanently in geological formations in Alberta. GE Vernova’s Advanced Research Center played a central role in developing and validating the sorbent materials used in the system, helping provide performance data and operational insight prior to field deployment.
One of the many reasons we’re really excited to partner with GE Vernova is because they’re leading in terms of sorbent development. They are focused on understanding how to make sorbent molecules absorb more carbon and have longer lifetime. This type of sorbent development is at the crux of how DAC gets to cost - efficient scale and commercial operations.
