Carbon removal trailblazer Deep Sky has announced a strategic partnership with multinational energy player ENGIE, embarking on a collaboration aimed at advancing direct air capture (DAC) technology.
Under the partnership, ENGIE will procure up to 15,000 carbon removal credits from Deep Sky’s direct air capture (DAC) facilities, and the two companies will join forces on DAC research that can inform future commercial-scale DAC deployments globally.
According to Charlie Renzoni, vice president of carbon markets at Deep Sky, collaborations like this one help ensure that DAC technology can meet the growing market demand by bridging the gap between innovation and industrial-scale deployment.
“ENGIE, with its commitment to net zero by 2045, aligns with the urgency of climate timelines outlined by the IPCC and reflects the kind of leadership needed to scale the carbon removal market,” he added.
With this multifaceted partnership, Deep Sky and ENGIE will work together on strengthening the durable carbon removals market.
Project development company Deep Sky has made strides in the carbon removal sector by launching several initiatives in Canada, including its landmark Deep Sky Alpha facility in Alberta, Canada.
Located in Innisfail, this facility serves as a testing ground for a number of different DAC technologies, which are evaluated for optimizations under the same operating conditions.
To date, Deep Sky Alpha has attracted DAC deployments from numerous major developers, including CarbonCapture Inc., DACMA, Airbus, GE Vernova, Phlair, Mission Zero, and Skyrenu.

Towards the end of 2025, the Canada-based company also announced plans to construct one of the world’s largest carbon removal facilities in Manitoba, Canada, referred to as Deep Sky Manitoba.
Set to be constructed with a $500 million investment, the Deep Sky Manitoba facility is projected to be able to remove 500,000 tonnes of CO2 annualy once the plant is fully operational.
Leveraging this extensive knowledge and expertise, Deep Sky is now partnering with ENGIE to unlock new breakthroughs for the field of DAC carbon removals.
Their joint research work will focus on DAC responsiveness to dynamic energy loads and energy systems integration, enabling Deep Sky to optimize power integration into DAC deployments, improve efficiency, and reduce costs.
