Montana Technologies Announces Memorandum of Understanding with Clairity Technology to Deploy AirJoule® in Support of Direct Air Capture Carbon Dioxide Removal Projects
RONAN, Mont., Sept. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Montana Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: AIRJ) (“Montana Technologies” or the “Company”), the developer of the transformational AirJoule® technology for atmospheric water generation, is pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Clairity Technology (“Clairity”) to deploy AirJoule® units in support of Clairity’s direct air capture (“DAC”) carbon dioxide removal operations.
Montana Technologies and Clairity agreed to explore ways that AirJoule® can enhance the performance of Clairity’s DAC reactor. The proprietary process developed by Clairity captures carbon dioxide (“CO2”) molecules in the air, while AirJoule®’s advanced dehumidification technology can be used to regulate humidity and ensure optimal operations of the DAC reactors across a wide range of operating conditions.
“I am delighted to embark on this project with the Clairity team,” said Matt Jore, CEO of Montana Technologies. “The deployment of AirJoule® to manage humidity in a carbon dioxide removal process demonstrates yet another innovative application of our transformational technology for water harvesting.”
Bryan Barton, Chief Commercialization Officer of Montana Technologies, added, “Clairity’s vision of advancing cost-effective carbon dioxide removal through direct air capture aligns with our strategy of deploying AirJoule® in support of projects that can have a meaningful impact on mitigating climate change.”
Clairity’s innovative DAC process, which utilizes an alkali carbonate sorbent coated on a ceramic honeycomb substrate to captures CO2 molecules in the air, produces a mixed stream of CO2 and air. Clairity expects this process to require far less upfront capital than conventional DAC systems while still removing significant amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere. The CO2 stream can be sequestered into concrete, injected underground, turned into rocks, or utilized in products such as sustainable aviation fuel.
In February 2024, Clairity announced a $6.75 million seed round led by Lowercarbon Capital and Initialized Capital, which it has used to develop its first commercial pilot project. Clairity expects to deploy its first reactor capable of removing 100 metric tons of CO2 per year by the end of 2024 in the southwestern United States, with additional reactor modules deployed in 2025 to increase the CO2 removal capacity to 2,500 metric tons per year.
Glen Meyerowitz, Founder and CEO of Clairity, said, “Our groundbreaking approach to direct air capture of CO2 has the potential to advance this critical tool for addressing climate change by making it more cost effective to deploy at scale. With Montana Technologies’ participation in this endeavor through the deployment of AirJoule® alongside our reactors, we are leading the charge towards a more sustainable future.”

Everyone makes mistakes, even experienced professionals; a good reminder for the rest of us to learn from those mistakes. The motion in State v. Stroup starts off well in its initial pages (no case law hallucinations), but is then followed by several pages of two other motions, which I don’t think the lawyer was planning to file, and which appear to have been AI-generated: It begins with the “Below is concise motion language you can drop into …” language quoted above.
Griffen Smith (Missoulian) reported on the story, and included the prosecutor’s motion to strike that filing, on the grounds that it violates a local rule (3(G)) requiring disclosure of the use of generative AI:
The document does not include a generative artificial intelligence disclosure as required. However, page 7 begins as follows: “Below is concise motion language you can drop into a ‘Motion to Admit Mental-Disease Evidence and for Related Instructions’ keyed to 45-6-204, 45-6-201, and 4614-102. Adjust headings/captions to your local practice.” Page 10 states “Below is a full motion you can paste into your pleading, then adjust names, dates, and styles to fit local practice.” These pages also include several apparent hyperlinks to “ppl-ai-file-upload.s3.amazonaws,” “ppl-ai-fileupload.s3.amazonaws+1,” and others. The document includes what appears to be an attempt at a second case caption on page 12. It is not plausible on its face that any source other than generative AI would have created such language for a filed version of a brief….
There’s more in that filing, but here’s one passage:
While generative AI can be a useful tool for some purposes and may have greater application in the future, when used improperly, and without meaningful review, it can ultimately damage both the perception and the reality of the profession. One assumes that Mr. Stroup has had, or will at some point have, an opportunity to review the filing made on his behalf. What impression could a review of pgs. 12-19 leave upon a defendant who struggles with paranoia and delusional thinking? While AI could theoretically one day become a replacement for portions of staff of experienced attorneys, it is readily apparent that this day has not yet arrived.
The Missoulan article includes this response:
In a Wednesday interview, Office of Public Defender Division Administrator Brian Smith told the Missoulian the AI-generated language was inadvertently included in an unrelated filing. And he criticized the county attorney’s office for filing a “four-page diatribe about the dangers of AI” instead of working with the defense to correct her mistake.
“That’s not helping the client or the case,” Smith said, “and all you are doing is trying to throw a professional colleague under the bus.”
As I mentioned, the lawyer involved seems quite experienced, and ran for the Montana Public Service Commission in 2020 (getting nearly 48% of the vote) and for the House of Representatives in Montana’s first district in 2022 (getting over 46% of the vote) and in 2024 (getting over 44%). “Его пример другим наука,” Pushkin wrote in Eugene Onegin—”May his example profit others,” in the Falen translation.
