Clairity Technology develops Direct Air Capture and Ex-Situ Mineralization technologies to remove atmospheric CO2. The system utilizes inexpensive chemicals and standard construction materials to create enriched CO2 streams for large-scale carbon removal. This process supports global decarbonization efforts by addressing legacy and ongoing anthropogenic CO2 emissions.

Problem
The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has reached critical levels, contributing to climate change and threatening the planet's long-term habitability. Existing decarbonization efforts are insufficient to counteract the continued emission of billions of tons of CO2 annually.
Solution
Clairity Technology develops direct air capture (DAC) systems that remove CO2 directly from the atmosphere. Their approach utilizes readily available and inexpensive chemical media, specifically carbonate salts, to selectively bind with CO2. The captured CO2 is then concentrated into enriched streams that can be sequestered through ex-situ mineralization, geologic injection, or conversion into valuable products like sustainable aviation fuels. Clairity's modular reactor design uses cost-effective building equipment, enabling rapid scalability to gigaton removal levels. The company's first pilot facility, Project Juniper, is designed to capture 100 tons of CO2 per year and issue independently verified carbon credits.
Target Audience
Clairity's primary customers include organizations seeking to offset their carbon footprint, governments aiming to meet climate goals, and companies interested in utilizing captured CO2 for sustainable product development.
