Project Juniper is the first integrated carbon removal plant in the U.S., located in North Las Vegas, designed by Clairity Tech to capture and store CO2 while producing clean water. Founded by Glen Meyerowitz, who switched from aerospace to tackling climate issues, the facility employs a unique and cost-effective capture material similar to baking soda. This approach allows the plant to operate efficiently, utilizing renewable energy sources intermittently, marking a significant advancement in the fight against climate change and aiming for scalable solutions to meet global climate goals.
Founder Glen Meyerowitz's pivot from aerospace to carbon removal highlights the urgency of mitigating climate change, stating, 'This is really the existential threat of our time and the most important problem that needs to be addressed.'
Clairity Tech’s Project Juniper utilizes an innovative CO2 capture material akin to baking soda, which is abundant and cheap, allowing for sustainable carbon removal.
The design of Project Juniper allows for a cost-effective operation that doesn't necessitate continuous running, enabling it to harness intermittent renewable energy.
Meyerowitz emphasizes the necessity of scaling carbon capture to meet climate goals, stating that CO2 must be captured at a massive scale alongside economic decarbonization.
