Skyrenu | Industrial engineering for low-concentration CO₂ capture
Skyrenu is a Quebec-based company founded in 2021 that develops and markets modular low-concentration CO₂ capture systems for industrial environments and direct air capture.
Our approach aims for the progressive industrialization of carbon capture through a proprietary architecture designed to reduce costs, limit scaling risks, and facilitate integration with existing infrastructures.

Mission and strategic positioning
Skyrenu is developing a modular low-concentration CO₂ capture platform based on a proprietary moving-cell, reactorless architecture.
Our mission is to industrialize the capture of dilute CO₂ by offering systems that are:
The business model is based on the sale and service of capture systems, not on the marketing of carbon credits.
Our priority is operational reliability, reducing economic risk and achieving a level of maturity compatible with a structured commercial deployment.
An architecture designed for industrialization
Skyrenu is developing a platform based on a proprietary architecture that simplifies the design of low concentration capture systems.
This approach enables:
The modular design aims to simultaneously reduce the technical and financial risks associated with large-scale capture projects.
Markets and industrial integration
Integrated geological sequestration projects
Low CO₂ concentration industrial emissions
Direct air capture
(DAC)
CO₂
value chains
The systems are designed to be installed directly at sequestration sites or near sources of dilute emissions, facilitating integration into existing value chains.
Our industrial trajectory
2021
Foundation and international recognition
Originating from work carried out at the University of Sherbrooke, the founding team wins the XPRIZE Carbon Removal (student category), validating the initial technological potential.
2023
Demonstration prototype
Development of a first experimental system allowing the thermodynamic validation of the capture cycle.
2024
Strategic industrial partnership
Pilot agreement with Deep Sky for real-world demonstration of a capture module.
2025
operational commissioning
Installation and commissioning of a first system on an industrial site in Alberta, confirming operational robustness in a real environment.
2026
Permanent sequestration and US patent
First permanent sequestration of atmospheric CO₂ in Quebec in partnership with Deep Sky.
A patent is granted in the United States protecting the technological architecture developed by Skyrenu.
Team and governance
Skyrenu relies on a team of engineers specializing in thermal integration, mechanical design and industrialization of energy systems.
Support from financial and institutional partners accompanies the trajectory towards commercial deployment.
Deploying an industrial CO₂ capture solution
We collaborate with industrial operators, sequestration project developers and technology partners wishing to integrate a scalable and industrializable capture solution.
