Strategic Investments And Joint Ventures
Montana Technologies (AIRJ) surpassed its $50 million minimum cash requirement by attracting private investments led by Carrier Global Corporation, GE Vernova, and Rice Investment Group, among others. These investments have enabled Montana Technologies to forge strategic partnerships and joint ventures aimed at advancing innovative air conditioning and water harvesting technologies.
A notable joint venture was formed with GE Vernova to develop and commercialize products utilizing Montana's proprietary AirJoule technology. This collaboration, spearheaded by Bryan Barton, formerly a senior executive at GE Vernova, aims to revolutionize HVAC solutions and atmospheric water harvesting systems. The joint venture is set to leverage GE Vernova's advanced materials technology to enhance the energy efficiency and performance of AirJoule-enabled products.
Additionally, Montana Technologies entered into a commercialization agreement with Carrier to bring AirJoule technology to HVAC markets across the Americas, Europe, India, and the Middle East. This agreement grants Carrier exclusive rights for the Americas and non-exclusive rights for other regions for a three-year period, contingent on meeting certain milestones. Carrier also committed $10 million in growth equity to Montana Technologies, conditional on the successful raising of at least $50 million in total capital commitments, a milestone achieved with the March 2024 capital raise.

As part of its growth strategy, on January 29, 2024, Montana Technologies further solidified its strategic direction by announcing a joint venture with GE Vernova to integrate GE's proprietary sorbent materials into AirJoule systems. This partnership aims to enhance the efficiency of energy-saving HVAC components and atmospheric water harvesting products.
These strategic moves position Montana Technologies as a pioneer in optimizing energy and water resources, contributing to a more sustainable and equitable future.
