Deep Sky has issued the first verified direct air capture (DAC) carbon credits in North America, marking a milestone for the carbon removal industry. The credits were verified by a third party and represent a step forward for DAC as a real decarbonization tool. This development could help build buyer confidence in engineered carbon removal and set a precedent for future verification standards in the region. The credits come from Deep Sky's pilot facility in Canada, which uses a combination of chemical sorbents and heat to pull CO2 from ambient air. The company plans to scale up and sell credits to corporate buyers looking to offset hard-to-abate emissions. The verification process adds credibility to a sector that has faced scrutiny over measurement and permanence claims.
