Strategically located an hour north of Calgary, Innisfail is an emerging clean energy hub. Deep Sky Labs’ mission is to accelerate the path to low cost, low energy intensity and highly scalable carbon dioxide removal (CDR) to produce high integrity carbon credits. The project represents an industry first for the private development of scalable CDR, the first cross-technology project in the world, and the first commercial direct air capture project in Canada.The Deep Sky Labs site is located within five acres of a municipality-owned industrial park, neighboring other proposed green projects including a solar farm and waste-to-energy plant. Engineering and design work has been conducted in partnership with leading engineering firm BBA, and construction will begin imminently.The facility will be operational this winter and will have the capacity to capture 3,000 tons of CO2 per year (or 30,000 tons over a 10-year period), via up to 10 different technologies. It will also include room for future expansion.Labs makes it possible for many different direct air capture (DAC) concepts to be tested simultaneously. Its tech-agnostic nature decreases delivery and operational risks while increasing the speed at which the industry can scale. This novel approach solves for the delivery delays that have plagued past global carbon removal projects.To start, eight state-of-the-art DAC technologies will be deployed at the facility, sitting side by side with standardized instrumentation for the collection of operational data. Here, they’ll be tested and optimized for performance year-round in the Canadian climate and validated before committing to them at commercial scale. Proprietary Deep Sky software will track and benchmark all operational data to accelerate the R&D of technology partners and the industry at large. (ICE TORONTO)
