LAS VEGAS — Clairity Technology Inc. (Clairity), a carbon dioxide removal (CDR) company developing novel systems for direct air capture of atmospheric carbon dioxide, is planning to site its first commercial facility in Southern Nevada after being approved for state tax incentives during the Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) Board of Directors meeting today.
Clairity’s technology is carbon-negative and water-positive, generating potable water for local communities while isolating and removing carbon dioxide from the air. Clairity plans to deploy the first end-to-end direct air capture and carbon storage project in Nevada, with a capacity to remove 2,500 tons of carbon dioxide annually and generate over 1,000 liters of water per day.
“Southern Nevada is the perfect ecosystem for us to deploy our first project,” said Glen Meyerowitz, CEO of Clairity Technology Inc. “The US Southwest is a hotbed of innovation across a range of climate technologies, and Nevada is an increasing force. The skilled and growing workforce, geographic proximity to many markets, and future growth of clean energy in the state are all factors that prime Nevada to be the perfect place for us not only today but into the future.”
The Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance (LVGEA), in collaboration with its municipal partners throughout Clark County, provided assistance to Clairity throughout the process of applying for state tax abatements, which was a key factor in the company’s decision to move to Southern Nevada.
“Clairity’s innovative project exemplifies the kind of groundbreaking, clean technology that aligns with our region’s commitment to sustainability,” said Tina Quigley, President & CEO of Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance. “By choosing Southern Nevada for this first-of-its-kind project, Clairity is not only investing directly in our community, but also paving the way for a more sustainable future for many generations to come.”
Over the next two years, Clairity is planning to make a capital investment of $2.5 million in Southern Nevada. The company will bring high-quality science and engineering jobs to Southern Nevada including mechanical engineering technicians, manufacturing engineers, chemists, and materials scientists.
During its bi-monthly meeting today, the GOED board approved tax incentives for a total of three companies considering relocation or expansion throughout the state, including Clairity. These three companies will make capital investments of $18 million and generate $7.8 million in new state tax revenues over the next 10 years.
“These investments reflect Nevada’s commitment to innovation and economic growth,” said Governor Joe Lombardo. “By supporting these companies, we are not only creating quality jobs but also strengthening Nevada’s leadership in manufacturing, technology, and infrastructure. These new partnerships will help drive long-term prosperity and economic success.”
