U.S. company CarbonCapture is moving its direct air capture (DAC) project called Tamarack from the originally planned site in Arizona to the Deep Sky Alpha facility in Alberta, Canada.
Through Project Tamarack, CarbonCapture’s Canadian subsidiary True North Carbon is expected to launch the largest single DAC technology deployment in Canada towards the end of October 2025.
Once the system reaches full operating capacity, it is projected to be able to capture 2,000 tonnes of atmospheric CO2 annually, becoming the largest operating technology of this kind in the country.
As reported by the Financial Post, the company is making this DAC relocation due to the favorable climate tech conditions available in the Canadian province of Alberta.
Speaking to the media, CarbonCapture CEO Adrian Corless shared that initially, the plan was to launch this project in the United States, with components ready for it in a factory in Arizona, but the cancellation of billions of dollars in awards from the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations by Energy Secretary Chris Wright earlier this year changed this vision, with the company swiftly regrouping to transfer the project to Alberta.
Within a few months from the announcement, CarbonCapture had shipped all the equipment to Alberta, where Project Tamarack will now be deployed at the Deep Sky Alpha testing and innovation center along with DAC technologies from other companies.
As the host of this facility, Deep Sky Alpha will provide all the utilities, renewable power, project operations, and CO2 transport and sequestration for Tamarack.
Designed to capture CO2 through a process powered entirely by solar energy, the Tamarack system comes with a modular setup that enables quick deployment and iteration, with a potential for scaling from kiloton to megaton carbon capture capacity.

True North Carbon is also partnering with Isometric to ensure the credits generated through Tamarack’s operations meet the highest quality standards on the market.
To that end, Isometric will oversee the measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) of the project, making sure that every issued credit stands for a tonne of CO2 removed from the atmosphere.
Reports that came out this week indicate that CarbonCapture’s regional DAC hub project in the U.S. is one of the initiatives whose funding has been cancelled via the announcement made by the U.S. Department of Energy on Oct 2, 2025.
