Deep Sky issues North America's first certified DAC credits

Carbon Herald just published Deep Sky Delivers The First Certified North American DAC Credits.

Carbon Herald reports that Canadian carbon removal developer Deep Sky has delivered the first certified DAC credits originating in North America. The credits come from its Deep Sky Labs facility in Innisfail, Alberta, which serves as a testing and demonstration site for multiple DAC technologies. According to the outlet, the milestone marks an early step in moving DAC from pilot demonstrations toward verified, sellable removal tons on the continent. The piece also notes the role of third-party certification in giving buyers confidence that captured CO2 has been measured and durably stored.

Our take (Heads-up): A first certified delivery is a real procedural milestone, but volumes from early DAC sites are tiny relative to gigaton-scale needs, and cost per ton remains the open question. Worth checking which registry issued the credits, the monitoring methodology, and the storage pathway before reading too much into the headline.
