Will Canada be a leader in CO2 capture technology?
Eight giant carbon dioxide (CO2) capture machines in Canada promise to provide a solution to the global climate change problem.

Removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the Earth's atmosphere remains expensive, largely because the technology is still in development. Photo: @Getty. But as global temperatures rise, startups are seeing a growing need for new solutions that go beyond emissions reductions, and a global need to proactively remove CO2 from the atmosphere.

This demand could accelerate further as the US scales back its climate commitments. Under the Trump administration, funding for CO2 removal is shifting and some US-based startups are cutting staff.

So recently, Deep Sky, a startup based in Alberta, Montreal, Canada has been testing eight rows of technological machines to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. Photo: @Deep Sky.
These rows of machines are arranged side by side, in 8 rows, each row of machines has different specifications and operations to serve the selective testing work. Photo: @Deep Sky. The CO2 captured from the atmosphere by the system will be sent to a central facility on-site, where it will be compressed, liquefied, and stored underground. Photo: @Deep Sky. Through testing and real-world operations, the startup will evaluate which machines perform best in Canadian conditions, including harsh winters, and ultimately choose the best version to release to the market.

Although the technology is still new and expensive, Deep Sky is betting on its success. If it is successful, the system is seen as a key tool for mitigating climate change. It would play a key role in limiting the rise in average global temperatures over the next century. Photo: @Deep Sky.
