What Clairity Technology does

Clairity Technology Inc. is a Los Angeles-based, privately held climate technology company founded in 2022 that builds low-cost, scalable direct air capture (DAC) systems designed to remove CO2 from ambient air and durably sequester it. Its core technology pairs a solid sorbent DAC system — honeycomb monoliths coated with alkali carbonate salts that selectively bind CO2 into the crystalline salt structure — with an ex-situ mineralization process that converts captured gaseous CO2 into carbonated materials where it remains stored for over 1,000 years. Project Juniper, the company's first integrated DAC and ex-situ mineralization facility, became operational in Southern Nevada in March 2025 and is sized to remove 100 metric tons of CO2 per year; the company has stated an ambition to scale to 10 megatons annually within a decade.

Clairity is revenue-generating via the sale of independently verified carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits generated by its facilities, with all Project Juniper 2024 credits pre-sold to corporate sustainability buyers. Its commercial motion is enterprise sales-led: direct offtake agreements with large corporate CDR buyers that operate through platforms (Microsoft, Stripe, Alphabet, Shopify) and advanced market commitment bodies, supported by validation partnerships with the Isometric carbon removal registry and a materials integration with CarbonBuilt for CO2-to-concrete applications. The company employs fewer than 12 engineers and scientists — including a former SpaceX founder/CEO, PhD-level materials scientists and a biochemist — and has raised $6.75 million in a February 2024 seed round co-led by Lowercarbon Capital and Initialized Capital. Its geographic footprint is currently the West Coast and Southwestern US, with no public disclosure of pricing, customer-level revenue, or unit economics beyond credits being pre-sold.

Revenue model

1. Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) Credits: Sale of independently verified carbon removal credits generated by Project Juniper's DAC and ex-situ mineralization operations. Credits are pre-sold to leading CDR buyers including major corporations. Project Juniper is the first direct air capture facility in the United States to issue independently verified carbon credits, with all 2024 credits pre-sold. Future projects have pre-feasibility studies completed and offtake contracts being actively sought.

Core offering

Clairity Technology develops and operates Direct Air Capture (DAC) systems that use solid alkali carbonate sorbents coated onto honeycomb monoliths to selectively capture CO2 from ambient air. The captured CO2 is regenerated via low-temperature desorption and then durably sequestered through ex-situ mineralization, converting gaseous CO2 into carbonated materials that lock away CO2 for over 1,000 years. The company operates Project Juniper, a pilot facility in Southern Nevada producing independently verified carbon removal credits sold to corporate sustainability buyers.

Product overview

Clairity Technology offers a unified direct air capture and sequestration solution consisting of two integrated core products: the Direct Air Capture (DAC) System and Ex-Situ Mineralization Technology. The DAC System uses a solid sorbent approach with honeycomb monoliths coated with alkali carbonate salts to capture CO2 from the atmosphere, while the Ex-Situ Mineralization Technology durably sequesters the captured CO2 into carbonated materials that remain stored for thousands of years. Project Juniper serves as the proof-of-concept pilot facility demonstrating this end-to-end process in Southern Nevada.

Brands

• Project Juniper: The company's first pilot facility located in Southern Nevada, designed to capture 100 tons of CO2 per year. It is the first integrated direct air capture and ex-situ mineralization project in North America.

Products and services

• Direct Air Capture (DAC) System A solid sorbent-based direct air capture system using honeycomb monoliths coated with alkali carbonate salts that selectively react with CO2 from ambient air, binding CO2 into the crystalline structure of the salt. The system generates enriched CO2 streams for sequestration or utilization, and uses cost-effective building equipment rather than massive steel and concrete structures for rapid scalability.
• Ex-Situ Mineralization Technology An engineered reactor process that converts captured gaseous CO2 and alkali feedstock into carbonated materials where CO2 remains stored for over 1,000 years. Can use a wide range of feedstock including waste materials that would otherwise go to landfill, generating value-add products and avoiding the project, regulatory, and financial risk associated with geologic CO2 injection.
• Project Juniper Clairity's first pilot facility located in Southern Nevada, designed to remove 100 metric tons of CO2 from the atmosphere annually. It is the first integrated DAC and ex-situ mineralization project in North America and the first DAC project in the world to generate value-add carbonated materials from captured CO2. All 2024 credits were pre-sold to leading CDR buyers, and the facility's ex-situ mineralization process converts captured CO2 into inert rocks that lock away CO2 for over 1,000 years.
• Verified Carbon Removal Credits Independently verified carbon dioxide removal credits generated by Project Juniper's DAC and ex-situ mineralization operations. Credits are pre-sold to leading corporate CDR buyers (including Microsoft, Stripe, Alphabet, Shopify, Meta, and McKinsey) to meet corporate sustainability and net-zero commitments, with all Project Juniper 2024 credits pre-sold.

Direct peers

• CarbonCapture Inc. U.S.-based DAC company developing solid sorbent-based capture systems. Direct peer in the DAC technology category with similar early-stage commercial trajectory and corporate offtake customer base.
• Heirloom Carbon Technologies: California-based DAC startup using limestone-based solid sorbents with mineralization sequestration. Closest U.S. competitor pursuing the same DAC + mineralization integration thesis that Clairity pioneered at Project Juniper.
• Climeworks: Swiss-based global leader in direct air capture, also using a solid sorbent approach. Most directly comparable DAC peer — same fundamental technology category (sorbent-based CO2 capture from ambient air) and same end customer (corporate CDR credit buyers).

Emerging players

• CarbonOrO: Emerging DAC company developing direct air capture technology. Comparable early-stage profile in the broader DAC competitive landscape, targeting the same corporate carbon removal market.
• CarbonCure Technologies: Carbon mineralization company that injects CO2 into concrete during production for permanent storage. Competes for the same CO2-to-building-materials value proposition and represents an alternative pathway for industrial carbon utilization.
• Avnos: Early-stage DAC company notable for co-generating water alongside CO2 capture — directly mirroring Clairity's water-positive co-benefit messaging in water-stressed regions like Southern Nevada. Comparable mission profile and emerging DAC peer.
• Capture6: Climate-tech company pursuing DAC paired with mineralization for permanent carbon removal. Overlaps directly with Clairity's ex-situ mineralization approach and competes for the same corporate CDR credit buyers.
• Sustaera: U.S.-based DAC startup developing sorbent-based direct air capture. Early-stage peer in the same DAC technology category targeting similar corporate CDR credit buyers at pilot scale.

Others

• CarbonBuilt: Mineralization technology partner of Clairity that converts CO2 into concrete/masonry products. Strategic partner and adjacent technology provider rather than direct competitor, but operates in the same carbon-to-minerals value chain.

Broad incumbents

• 1PointFive (Occidental): Subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum operating the Stratos DAC plant built on Carbon Engineering's liquid-solvent technology. Represents the well-capitalized, oil-major-backed incumbent in DAC pursuing a different (solvent-based) technical pathway but targeting the same corporate CDR buyers.
