The center of the carbon dioxide removal universe appears to be moving north.
A Canadian project developer Thursday announced plans to build what would be one of the world’s largest direct air capture projects in Manitoba.
The Deep Sky hub would eventually be capable of removing 500,000 metric tons of CO2 from the atmosphere each year, which is more than the annual emissions of a natural-gas-fired power plant, according to EPA data.

The news comes as the Trump administration is moving to cancel at least $1 billion in subsidies for the direct air capture industry that had in recent years begun to take root in the U.S. — with more potential award cancellations looming.
