Deep Sky delivers first certified direct air capture carbon removal credits in North America

Deep Sky has announced the delivery of North America's first certified direct air capture (DAC) carbon removal credits. These credits come from a project that captures CO2 directly from the atmosphere and stores it permanently. The certification adds a layer of verification that the carbon removal is real and durable, which matters for buyers looking to offset emissions with confidence. This milestone is significant because DAC is still a small but growing part of the carbon removal market. Most carbon credits today come from nature-based solutions like forestry. Engineering-based removal like DAC is more expensive but offers permanent storage. The certification by a third party helps build trust in a market that has faced scrutiny over quality. For companies buying these credits, the key question is cost and scalability. Deep Sky's delivery shows the technology works at a commercial level, but the price per ton and the rate of scale will determine how big a role DAC plays in corporate net-zero plans.
