Montreal-based company Deep Sky is partnering with California carbon-capture tech firm Equatic to install an electrolyzer at its test plant in Quebec. Deep Sky aims to capture CO2 by separating it from seawater, using an experimental process developed at a California university. The electrolyzer technology will bring a direct-air-capture (DAC) element to Deep Sky's operations, allowing them to immobilize CO2 in the form of solid minerals or bicarbonate ions. Deep Sky expects to initially trap 365 tonnes of carbon per year before scaling up, and has signed agreements with other companies such as Captura, Svante Technologies, and Elon Musk's XPrize.
