AirJoule Plans Newark-Wilmington, Delaware, Operations

07/26/2024
AirJoule, a joint venture between GE Vernova Inc. and Montana Technologies Corp., plans to establish operations in Newark, Delaware. The $15.3 million project is expected to create 60 jobs during the next five years.

The company is leasing a 30,000 square foot site on Shea Way in Newark for its main office and manufacturing facilities, in addition to leasing 500 square feet at The Innovation Space in Wilmington’s DuPont Experimental Station for research and development activities.

“We are thrilled to be establishing our main office and manufacturing facility in the vibrant state of Delaware,” said AirJoule CEO Bryan Barton, who previously worked at other companies in Delaware. “Delaware’s dynamic business environment and talented workforce make it the ideal location to locate our operations.”

Delaware Prosperity Partnership supported AirJoule’s request to the Council on Development Finance for a Jobs Performance Grant of up to $540,000 and a Capital Expenditure Grant of up to $460,650 from the Delaware Strategic Fund. Distribution of these grant monies is dependent on the Company meeting commitments as outlined to the CDF, which reviewed and approved AirJoule’s request for up to $1,000,650 in total funding.

“This is exciting news for Delaware. AirJoule’s decision to bring administrative, manufacturing and research operations to the First State creates a variety of job opportunities for Delawareans,” noted Governor John Carney. “I want to thank the Delaware Prosperity Partnership for its continued work to make sure Delaware has a vibrant workforce and a strong economy.”

AirJoule is a 50-50 joint venture between GE Vernova, a global leader in electrification, decarbonization and energy solutions, and Montana Technologies, a company developing & deploying atmospheric energy & water harvesting systems. It uses an environmentally friendly, sorbent-based process with minimal emissions to produce efficient and sustainable air dehumidification and harvest pure distilled water from air.
