Bellevue Class
Industrial demonstration of a direct air capture unit with a capacity of 125 tCO₂/year
Pre-commercial demonstration project aimed at validating the continuous operation of a modular DAC system in real Canadian climatic conditions.
A key step towards commercial deployment
The Bellevue Class project constitutes an industrial demonstration of a direct air capture unit with a capacity of 125 tCO₂/year operated continuously under real Canadian climatic conditions.
This project aims to reduce the technical and operational risks associated with moving from a pilot to a pre-commercial application, by validating the performance, operability and reproducibility of the system on a larger scale.
Bellevue Class represents a structuring step in Skyrenu's deployment trajectory towards capture capacities of several hundred to several thousand tons per year, thanks to a modular architecture designed for manufacturability, operational continuity and cost reduction.

the project's objectives
The Bellevue Class project aims to demonstrate the industrial and pre-commercial relevance of the Skyrenu platform on a scale greater than that of the first deployments.
The project should confirm the technology's ability to operate stably in various environments, while providing useful data for preparing the next steps in scaling up capacity.
Industrial deployment and operational validation
Bellevue Class corresponds to an industrial demonstration phase designed to validate the continuous operation of a 125 tCO₂/year DAC unit under real Canadian climatic conditions.
The project aims to confirm the operational robustness of the system, its continuity of operation and its ability to maintain consistent performance in different operating contexts.
This step directly contributes to reducing the technical, operational and financial risks associated with moving to larger capacity units.
Industrial partnership with NorthX Climate Tech and CarbiCrete
The Bellevue Class project is based on a partnership structure combining financial support, strategic validation and integration into a sustainable CO₂ storage application.
Skyrenu designs, manufactures and operates the direct air capture unit.
NorthX Climate Tech provides financial and strategic support to the project.
CarbiCrete ensures the integration of captured CO₂ into decarbonized concrete.
This partnership strengthens the industrial credibility of the project by linking technological demonstration, external support and a concrete outlet for the captured CO₂.
The announced support from NorthX Climate Tech helps reduce the need for private capital for the demonstration phase. The integration of captured CO₂ into sustainable building materials with CarbiCrete, meanwhile, validates an industrial-scale carbon capture and storage system.
Project Milestones
Deployed technology
The Bellevue Class project implements Skyrenu's technology platform applied to direct air capture on an industrial demonstration scale.
This technology is based on:
This process captures CO₂ directly from ambient air and then releases it in concentrated form, ready for sequestration or utilization. The system's modular architecture facilitates adaptation to increasing capture capacities and supports a replicable industrial deployment strategy.
A crucial pre-commercial step
The Bellevue Class project is not yet a large-scale commercial deployment, but a crucial pre-commercial step in Skyrenu's industrialization trajectory.
It is a technology pilot to validate:
The expected results of this project should support the preparation of the next generations of systems and strengthen the structuring of Skyrenu's offering for larger-scale deployments.
Continuity of development
Bellevue Class is part of the ongoing work by Skyrenu to advance its modular low-concentration CO₂ capture platform towards increasingly robust industrial applications.
This work has notably enabled:
The Bellevue Class project thus links advanced technological demonstration with preparation for commercial deployment.
An industrial demonstration geared towards scaling up
The Bellevue Class project should allow Skyrenu to validate an essential intermediate step between the first deployments and future larger capacity units.
It confirms the industrial orientation of the platform: a modular architecture, designed to reduce the technical and economic risks of scaling up, while facilitating the integration of capture into CO₂ sequestration or utilization chains.
