Deep Sky Alpha

Audit Analysis

Deep Sky Alpha is a newly validated Direct Air Capture project with saline aquifer storage, verified by 350Solutions under the Isometric Standard. The removal methodology is inherently robust (renewable-energy DAC plus geological storage), additionality is confirmed, and no reversal events have been reported. However, the project is in its earliest phase with no monitoring data, no ERR figures available, and a validation report that flagged 15 material findings (all subsequently resolved), leaving limited quantitative evidence to assess credit quantity and long-term performance.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠15 material findings and 15 corrective actions were raised during validation, indicating substantial initial documentation gaps (credit ownership agreement, permit approvals, well construction details, alarm system evidence, emissions testing records, closure plan, and others)
• ⚠No ERR figures (claimed or verified) are available in the extracted record, making it impossible to assess over- or under-crediting
• ⚠1000-year permanence claim is supported by only a 5% buffer pool, which is at the lower end for such a long-duration claim
• ⚠Leakage deduction is 0% with a 'deemed negligible' justification but no quantified analysis is provided in the available documents
