Deep Sky Labs as envisioned.
So as carbon dioxide continues to pour into the atmosphere, there needs to be efforts to remove it.
The technology exists, but the infrastructure needs to be created en masse to counter its production.

The project is calledDeep Sky Labs, drawing from the innovative scientific nature of laboratories.
The facility will be constructed in a remote part of Alberta, Canada.
Its creators are touting it as the worlds first cross-technology carbon removal innovation and commercialization centre.
It will have space to test 10 different methods of direct air capture of carbon in our atmosphere.
Carbon capture requires energy to power the machines that filter our air.
This energy can itself come from unclean sources.
To avoid this issue, Deep Sky Labs will be entirely solar powered.
Once carbon is removed from the air, it will be pumped into safe storage far underground.
Deep Sky is also creating high integrity carbon credits to fund the endeavor.
Over 10 years, 30,000 tons of carbon will be removed from the air.
