Spiritus Technologies PBC Plans Santa Fe, New Mexico, Operations

07/10/2025
Spiritus Technologies PBC, a company engaged in sustainable carbon removal, plans to establish operations in Sante Fe, New Mexico. The project is expected to create 40 jobs.

The company will lease a 10,000 square-foot facility located on an acre of Nambé Pueblo land.

“Because of the opportunity Nambe Pueblo has afforded us, we have been able to meet our technical milestones,” said Susie Kritter, program manager at Spiritus Technologies. “Additionally, the support and business contacts made through EDD have been instrumental in the forward trajectory of our company.”

To support the project the New Mexico Local Economic Development Act fund has pledged $500,000 to Spiritus, distributed as the company meets specified construction and hiring benchmarks. Spiritus has also been awarded various other EDD assistance, including Job Training Incentive Program (JTIP) funds for up to four trainees in 2024 and five in 2025 (reimbursing for at least 50% of wages during training), a $50,000 Science and Technology Business Startup Grant, and a $925,000 Advanced Energy Award.

“New Mexico is a national climate leader, and this collaboration hits home with many of our top goals as an agency,” noted EDD Cabinet Secretary Rob Black. “Not only does it support clean and sustainable energy, it also promotes science and technology, and prioritizes partnerships with our Native communities.

Spiritus Technologies PBC is a climate tech company focused on developing direct air capture (DAC) technology to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

“Through our partnership with Spiritus and the Nambe Pueblo Development Corporation, we are demonstrating how tribal lands can be part of New Mexico’s future as a hub for innovation and sustainability,” added Pueblo of Nambe Gov. Nathaniel S. Porter. “There is great potential here, and we look forward to seeing lasting benefits to our community and the region.”
