NEW YORK CITY (September 24, 2025) – GE Vernova and Deep Sky, the world’s first technology-agnostic carbon removal project developer, announced an agreement to deploy GE Vernova's Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology at Deep Sky Alpha in Alberta, Canada. GE Vernova's technology will be capable of capturing up to 1,500 tons of carbon per year. With operations scheduled to begin by late 2026, Alpha will deploy GE Vernova’s proprietary solid sorbent technology, developed and rigorously tested at the company’s Advanced Research Centers.

Located in Innisfail, Alberta, Deep Sky Alpha is the world’s first cross-technology carbon removal hub which became operational in August 2025.

“We are excited about this first-of-its-kind collaboration, which marks an important step in advancing GE Vernova’s scalable, energy-efficient DAC solutions,” said Brian Moran, Executive Director of GE Vernova’s DAC program. “While the technology and industry are still emerging, collaborations like this, built on shared ambition and complementary strengths, have the potential to transform the future of carbon removal.”

GE Vernova DAC solutions couple innovative technology with resilient global supply chains that enable rapid deployment, as well as integrated systems engineering that improves energy use, harnesses waste heat, and ensures reliable operations at scale.

To further support the success of the Deep Sky Alpha project and future deployments, GE Vernova recently commissioned a 10-ton per year DAC test facility at their Advance Research Center in Niskayuna, New York. This system will play a pivotal role in demonstrating the capabilities of both the sorbent materials and the overall DAC technology, building confidence in its reliability and performance at the pilot stage and laying the groundwork for successful commercial-scale deployment.

“Deep Sky is the only place in the world offering end-to-end deployment, operations, renewable power and CO2 storage for DAC technologies, all in real world conditions,” said Alex Petre, CEO of Deep Sky. “GE Vernova entering this space underscores the growing momentum and urgency for DAC as a climate solution. We’re proud to welcome their unit to Deep Sky Alpha and to serve as the proving ground that sets the pace for the industry’s growth.”

The collaboration between Deep Sky and GE Vernova represents an important first step in deploying this innovative technology at speed and scale. It sets the foundation for future commercial-scale DAC projects in Canada, and internationally, as both organizations focus on the scale-up and industrialization of these solutions.

Together, GE Vernova and Deep Sky are committed to developing and deploying cutting-edge carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies. High-quality CDR is essential for achieving emissions goals. DAC removes carbon dioxide (CO₂) directly from the atmosphere using chemical processes. Unlike capturing emissions at their source (like power plants or industrial facilities), DAC removes CO₂ from ambient air, which makes it useful for addressing residual emissions and emissions from sources that are hard-to-abate, such as aviation, shipping, or heavy industry.

Alternative Fuels for Power Generation
The fuels of the future will help determine how quickly and efficiently the world can electrify and decarbonize, and GE Vernova is actively working across multiple types of fuels. Developing and delivering fuels that will allow combustion without carbon, such as hydrogen or ammonia is an immediate focus, alongside longer-term work utilizing electrolyzers to create hydrogen, combine it with CO₂ and make safer, carbon-neutral synthetic fuels. 

Building Grid Resilience
GE Vernova’s Advanced Research Center team plans to invest more heavily in Multi-Terminal HVDC, a key to expanding the capabilities and functionality of the U.S. grid of the future. It will also strengthen the ability to connect multiple sources of power generation to the grid.

HVDC is a more economical and efficient way to transmit power over long distances, but current technologies do not allow for “off-ramps” between the point of generation and the end of the transmission line. For example, if an HVDC line starts in one state and delivers power to another, it cannot deliver power to areas in other states along its path. Multi-Terminal HVDC offers the possibility of coast-to-coast transmission superhighways, efficiently delivering electricity across long distances.

Additional Investment in AI
In a separate investment at the company’s Advanced Research Center, GE Vernova plans to invest $15 million into AI efforts.GE Vernova’s Advanced Research Center has a generations-long history of developing game-changing technologies, such as gas turbine technology designed to be the world's most efficient gas turbine, advanced algorithms for efficient, resilient grid planning, operations, and maintenance, small modular nuclear reactors, and 100% hydrogen combustion for carbon-free power generation.

NISKAYUNA, New York (January 16, 2025) - GE Vernova Inc.’s (NYSE: GEV) Advanced Research has completed the independent verification and validation milestone of the Department of Defense, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) AIR2WATER project, demonstrating the successful completion of the Atmospheric Water Extraction (AWE) program awarded to GE Vernova.

Today, soldiers in arid regions get water through bottled water, which is often transported by caravan. This causes significant logistical hurdles. To address water scarcity and the cost and logistics burden of water supply, DARPA created the Atmospheric Water Extraction (AWE) program, of which GE Vernova Advanced Research was a performer.

The 4-year project delivered a transformation in atmospheric water extraction by developing an “Advanced-manufactured, Integrated Reservoir To extract Water using Adsorbents and Thermally Enhanced Recovery (AIR2WATER)” technology. The AIR2WATER project has now concluded, following the successful independent verification and validation (IV&V) of GE Vernova’s standalone, sorbent integrated AIR2WATER system.

“The DARPA AWE-funded AIR2WATER project has been a catalyst to accelerate GE Vernova’s development of solid sorbent technologies,” says David Moore, Carbon Capture Technology Leader with GE Vernova’s Advanced Research Center. “Our technical differentiation is derived from the exquisite coupling of sorbent plus process in a modular, scalable system that produces potable water. Not only is the integrated sorbent the beating heart of the AIR2WATER system for atmospheric water harvesting, but it is also the enabling technology for several adjacent applications, including HVAC and carbon capture (direct air capture and point source capture of CO₂).”

Working closely with collaborators, including the University of California, Berkeley (UCB), the University of Chicago, and the University of South Alabama, GE Vernova’s Advanced Research Center successfully designed, constructed, and tested the AIR2WATER system. The AIR2WATER prototype utilizes advanced solid sorbents, which are crystalline sponges with affinity for water, including pioneering metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) developed by Prof. Omar Yaghi at UCB and computationally investigated by Prof. Laura Gagliardi, professor at the UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and Chemistry Department. To move these innovations in chemistry towards system scale application, detailed measurements describing the speed of water capture in these materials were completed by Prof. T. Grant Glover at the University of South Alabama. The revolutionary MOF sorbent is integrated into a heat exchanger, which is contained in a device the size of a refrigerator. Together, they capture water vapor from thin air. The system is powered by a fuel source to capture and release the water vapor, ultimately precipitating distilled, potable liquid water.

The IV&V team tested the AIR2WATER prototype device and resultant water quality across a wide range of relevant environmental conditions, including outdoor and exhaust exposure conditions, at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Aberdeen, Maryland. The AIR2WATER tabletop unit produces distilled water 24-hours a day, 7-days a week. Through AirJoule® LLC, a 50/50 joint venture between GE Vernova and AirJoule Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: AIRJ), this technology is being commercialized at scale across a wide breadth of applications including atmospheric water harvesting for military and humanitarian uses, along with industrial dehumidification and commercial air conditioning. AirJoule LLC’s commercial deployment of the technology underpinning the AIR2WATER unit has the potential to address water scarcity around the world.
