News Summary

Phil De Luna has announced his departure from Deep Sky, a Montréal-based carbon capture startup, where he served as the chief science and commercial officer. De Luna, who joined Deep Sky over two years ago after meeting co-founders Fred Lalonde and Joost Ouwerkerk, expressed that he had ‘outgrown’ his current role and is ready to take on a new challenge, aiming to build something new from the ground up. De Luna, who has a Ph.D. in materials science and engineering and experience with the National Research Council of Canada, has been instrumental in securing significant deals for Deep Sky, including partnerships with Microsoft and RBC, and claims to have built a $300-million sales pipeline for the company. His departure marks the second recent C-suite change at Deep Sky, following the resignation of CEO Damien Steel in May. Deep Sky is currently working on its Innisfail, Alberta carbon capture site, expected to open in September 2025.
