GE Vernova déploiera la technologie d’avant-garde de capture directe dans l’air chez Deep Sky Alpha au Canada

9 min read

NEW YORK (24 septembre 2025) – GE Vernova et Deep Sky, le premier initateur de projet d’élimination du carbone agnostique sur le plan technologique au monde, ont annoncé la conclusion d’un accord visant le déploiement d’une technologie de capture directe dans l’air (CDA) chez Deep Sky Alpha en Alberta, au Canada. La technologie de GE Vernova sera en mesure de piéger jusqu’à 1 500 tonnes de carbone par année. Avec le début des opérations prévu d’ici la fin de 2026, Alpha déploiera la technologie exclusive de sorption solide de GE Vernova, conçue et rigoureusement testée aux centres de recherche de pointe de l’entreprise.

Situé à Innisfail, en Alberta, Deep Sky Alpha est le premier centre mondial de capture du carbone utilisant plusieurs technologies, qui est devenu opérationnel en août 2025.

« Nous sommes ravis de cette collaboration unique en son genre, qui marque une étape importante dans l’avancement des solutions de CDA évolutives et écoénergétiques de GE Vernova », a déclaré Brian Moran, directeur exécutif du programme de CDA de GE Vernova. « Alors que la technologie et l’industrie sont encore en phase émergente, ce genre de collaborations, fondées sur une ambition commune et des atouts complémentaires, a le potentiel de transformer l’avenir de l’élimination du carbone. »

Les solutions de CDA de GE Vernova associent des technologies innovantes à des chaînes d’approvisionnement mondiales résilientes qui permettent un déploiement rapide, ainsi que l’ingénierie des systèmes intégrés qui améliore l’utilisation de l’énergie, exploite la chaleur résiduelle et garantit un fonctionnement fiable à grande échelle.

Pour continuer à soutenir la réussite du projet de Deep Sky Alpha et des déploiements futurs, GE Vernova a récemment mis en service une installation d’essai de CDA de 10 tonnes par année à son centre de recherche de pointe établi à Niskayuna (New York). Ce système jouera un rôle central dans la démonstration des capacités des matériaux de sorption et de la technologie de CDA dans son ensemble, renforçant la confiance dans sa fiabilité et sa performance au stade pilote et jetant les bases d’un déploiement fructueux à l’échelle commerciale.

« Deep Sky est le seul endroit au monde à offrir un déploiement de bout en bout, des opérations, de l’énergie renouvelable et le stockage du COpour les technologies de CDA, et ce, dans les conditions du monde réel », a déclaré Alex Petre, PDG de Deep Sky. « Le fait que GE Vernova se lance dans ce domaine met en évidence l’impulsion et l’urgence croissantes du CDA comme solution climatique. Nous sommes fiers d’accueillir leur unité chez Deep Sky Alpha et de servir de terrain d’essai et, ce faisant, de rythmer la croissance de l’industrie. »

La collaboration entre Deep Sky et GE Vernova représente une première étape importante pour accélérer le déploiement de cette technologie innovante à grande échelle. Elle jette les bases de futurs projets de CDA à l’échelle commerciale au Canada et à l’international, alors que les deux organisations se concentrent sur la montée en puissance et l’industrialisation de ces solutions.

Ensemble, GE Vernova et Deep Sky s’engagent à concevoir et à déployer des technologies de pointe pour l’élimination du dioxyde de carbone (EDC). Une technologie d’EDC de haute qualité est essentielle pour atteindre les objectifs d’émissions. Le CDA élimine le dioxyde de carbone (CO₂) directement de l’atmosphère à l’aide de processus chimiques. Au lieu de capturer les émissions à leur source (comme le font les centrales électriques ou les installations industrielles), le CDA élimine le CO₂ de l’air ambiant, ce qui le rend utile pour traiter les émissions résiduelles et les émissions provenant de sources difficiles à réduire, telles que l’aviation, le transport maritime ou l’industrie lourde.

GE Vernova to deploy pioneering Direct Air Capture technology at Deep Sky Alpha in Canada

7 min read

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.
