Deep Sky and Equatic to partner

The unit will have the capacity to remove 365 tpy of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and will demonstrate the potential for Equatic's technology ahead of larger-scale deployments (100 000+ tpy).

Equatic has developed an electrolytic process for atmospheric CO₂ removal that leverages the size and scale of the oceans. The process removes CO₂ from air and immobilises it permanently in the form of dissolved bicarbonate ions (in seawater), and in the form of solid mineral carbonates. The process also produces hydrogen, a clean energy source that will help decarbonise industrial systems, produce electricity for the transportation sector, create sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) and fuels for trucking, and power the Equatic technology itself.

Once in operation, the partners will together monitor the performance of the electrolyser unit in the unique marine environment of Quebec. The joint team will collect data on the performance of the unit in terms of CO₂ removal, energy consumption, and compliance with existing environmental regulations.

"We're thrilled to add Equatic to our pilot facility, marking a DAC partnership with a truly unique capture and sequestration technology," said Damien Steel, Deep Sky CEO. "As we prepare to remove gigatons of CO₂ from the air for our carbon credit customers, Equatic's unique electrolysis process enables the oceans to play a major part in averting climate catastrophe."

"This partnership is another meaningful step forward in producing high quality CO₂ removal," said Lorenzo Corsini, Principal Advisor, Equatic. "By working together, Equatic and Deep Sky will bring the most promising CO₂ removal technologies to market at scale."
