OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney can’t stop talking about transforming Canada into an energy superpower, but the head of a Canadian carbon removal startup wants him to drill down deeper.
“Canada can also become a carbon-removal superpower,” Alex Petre, CEO of Montreal-based Deep Sky, told POLITICO.
Petre’s company operates the first and only project in North America that literally vacuums carbon dioxide from the air and stores it in the ground.

Energy and Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson has been dropping hints that removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere will feature prominently when his government’s climate change policy is revealed in the federal budget.
