CarbonCapture

True North Carbon, the Canadian arm of U.S.-based CarbonCapture Inc., has announced Project Tamarack, set to become the largest deployment of a single direct air capture (DAC) technology in Canadian history. Located at Deep Sky Alpha in Alberta, the system is designed to remove up to 2,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually at full capacity, representing a significant transition from pilot projects to scalable, bankable carbon removal infrastructure. The project underscores Alberta’s strategic role in global carbon management, leveraging world-class storage geology, a mature CCUS ecosystem, supportive policies, and a skilled energy workforce. Project Tamarack features modular DAC technology powered entirely by solar energy, enabling rapid deployment and iteration toward megaton-scale carbon removal. Hosted at Deep Sky’s Alpha facility in Innisfail, Alberta, the system benefits from integrated utilities, renewable power, and CO₂ transport and sequestration infrastructure. To ensure credit integrity, True North Carbon is partnering with Isometric to oversee Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV), guaranteeing that each carbon credit represents a verified tonne of CO₂ removed from the atmosphere. Beyond climate impact, the project offers significant local economic and community benefits, including supplier opportunities for Canadian industries, educational engagement with local and Indigenous communities, and a domestic supply of verifiable carbon removal credits to support corporate net-zero commitments under Alberta’s TIER Regulation. An official commissioning ceremony is planned for late October to mark the “First Capture” milestone, highlighting Alberta’s leadership in DAC commercialization and Canada’s growing carbon removal ecosystem.
