## About Deep Sky

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Deep Sky develops, owns, and operates large-scale carbon removal infrastructure in Canada, deploying direct air capture (DAC) and direct ocean capture (DOC) technologies to reverse climate change.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed, Series A, and Grant funding)
- **Headquarters**: Montreal, Quebec, Canada
- **Founded**: 2022
- **Founders**: Fred Lalonde, Joost Ouwerkerk, and Laurence Tosi

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Carbon capture and storage (CCS), Environmental Services, Climate Technology
- **Target customers**: Fortune 500 companies and governments purchasing high-quality carbon removal credits for compliance and voluntary markets
- **Mission or purpose**: "Restoring the atmosphere is a massive engineering project that can, and must, be completed." The company builds the infrastructure to reverse climate change.

## Products & Services
- **Deep Sky Labs (Alberta)**: A testing and piloting site where multiple DAC and DOC technologies are assessed for commercial viability and scalability. Partners include Equatic, Captura, Mission Zero, Greenlyte, and Climeworks.
