Our Journey
In May 2019, Mexico City woke up to a thick, gray haze in the air. This was the beginning of one of the worst environmental emergencies caused by air pollution in the Mexican capital's history. Inspired by this alarming situation, we decided to take action and thought of a solution to the air pollution emergency – this is how we created Clair.
We have pioneered the carbon capture industry by building Clair City – a biologically-fueled portable carbon capture device for the transportation sector capable of capturing the equivalent of up to 70% of the emissions produced by a heavy-duty vehicle. This has led us to be named the best cleantech startup in Mexico, top 3 in LATAM, and among the best 3% worldwide by ClimateLaunchpad, a European Union-backed innovation contest.
We are developing our prototype and looking for partners to support us in increasing our impact exponentially in the Americas and the world.
Key Facts
99%
of the world’s population breathe hazardous levels of air pollution
Half
of the scenarios where we remain below 2ºC involve carbon capture.
11.9%
of global GHG emissions are produced by road transportation
Only 13%
of the vehicles on the road will be electric by 2035
1.8 billion
MtCo2 emitted in 2020 by medium and heavy-duty trucks
3% fall
in transportation emissions/year to 2030 to reach net zero by 2050
To enable organizations to reach true net zero by giving them access to validated, efficient, and affordable carbon capture solutions. We will help them offset their most challenging emissions to cut and design better carbon management strategies.
