Carbon removal facility with 500,000-ton capacity to launch in Canada
Deep Sky, a Canadian company, plans to build one of the world’s largest carbon removal facilities in southwestern Manitoba, with an expected annual capacity of 500,000 tons of CO₂ removal at full scale. Construction will begin in 2026 with an initial phase targeting 30,000 tons, representing an investment exceeding $200 million. The project is supported by the Dakota Grand Council and aligns with their long-term economic development strategy focused on sustainability. Southwestern Manitoba is considered an ideal location due to its suitable geology for underground CO₂ storage, recent provincial legislation enabling such storage, and access to clean hydroelectric power essential for low-emission direct air capture (DAC) technology. The facility is anticipated to bring significant economic benefits to the region, including construction and operational jobs, opportunities for local businesses, and indirect economic growth. Manitoba’s government emphasizes the project’s role in advancing industrial innovation and climate leadership, positioning the province among a select group globally capable of hosting large-scale carbon removal infrastructure.

The article from CleanTechnica highlights positive climate-forward initiatives that offer hope amid widespread environmental and political challenges. It emphasizes the importance of celebrating successful community projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve local environments. Two key examples are presented: the transformation of a hazardous landfill in Lynn, Massachusetts, into Lynn Harbor Park, and the creation of urban microforests in South Providence, Rhode Island. In Lynn, a former landfill that posed environmental and health risks was creatively remediated not by traditional capping and fencing but by converting it into a public park. This effort, led by Charter Development and landscape architects Brown, Richardson + Rowe, culminated in a 30-acre park that reconnects the community with its coastline. The project also includes plans for mixed-use development and an ocean promenade, fostering both ecological restoration and community engagement. Similarly, in South Providence, the Pearl Street Garden initiative uses the Miyawaki method to plant dense microforests in small urban spaces, enhancing biodiversity and human well-being

Sweden, historically a leader in climate action, is now falling behind its European peers, raising concerns about the future of the EU’s climate ambitions. The country’s environmental leadership dates back over a century, highlighted by early scientific contributions to understanding carbon emissions and pioneering policies such as carbon taxation in 1991. Sweden also played a key role in international climate efforts, including substantial financial commitments to the Green Climate Fund and the establishment of a comprehensive Climate Policy Framework supported by most political parties. The global climate movement, notably sparked by Greta Thunberg’s activism, further cemented Sweden’s reputation as a frontrunner in decoupling economic growth from fossil fuel emissions, achieving a significant reduction in carbon emissions while growing its GDP. However, recent developments have reversed much of this progress. Since the right-wing shift in Sweden’s government, investments in climate action have been drastically cut, leading to the largest increase in fossil fuel emissions in 15 years and a halving of carbon uptake by forests.
