AirJoule Technologies Corporation, a leader in atmospheric water generation, has announced plans to deploy its AirJoule system in Hubbard, Texas.
This initiative will mark the company’s first real-world application of its technology that turns low-grade waste heat into distilled water from ambient air. The deployment will utilise heat extracted from a geothermal water well to power the process.
“This project highlights an important application of our AirJoule platform: the ability to unleash the power of water from air by using low-grade waste heat to produce high-value distilled water from the air at the point of use,” said Matt Jore, CEO of AirJoule Technologies. “While this project uses geothermal heat, the same platform can use waste heat from manufacturing operations and energy production infrastructure—unlocking a distributed and sustainable water solution for industry.”
Texas represents a key market for AirJoule, as many communities across the state face ongoing challenges with water quality and access. To address these growing concerns, the Texas Legislature recently allocated $2.5 billion towards water infrastructure and proposed a constitutional amendment to dedicate US$1bn annually for the next two decades toward a state-wide water fund.
By transforming commonly available waste heat into a reliable source of clean water, the AirJoule system presents a scalable and energy-efficient solution. It provides an alternative to traditional water sourcing methods, which often strain already overburdened groundwater and surface water systems.
“The City of Hubbard is proud to serve as the host for this project,” said Mary Alderman, the Mayor of Hubbard, TX. “Like many communities in Texas and across the country, we’re facing growing concerns about water quality, aging infrastructure, and contamination. What’s so compelling about AirJoule is that it produces pure, distilled, PFAS-free water right at the source. We believe it can be part of the long-term solution for communities and industries that need clean water without compromise.”
“Through our 50/50 joint venture with AirJoule Technologies, we have conducted independent testing of the water produced by the AirJoule system,” added Dr. David Moore, Executive Manager at the GE Vernova Advanced Research Center in Niskayuna, New York. “The results confirmed that AirJoule’s process delivers pure, PFAS-free, distilled water. I believe this capability can help solve critical water challenges facing communities and industrial operations around the world.”
As part of its collaboration with Hubbard, AirJoule aims to certify the system’s water output to meet drinking water standards. The project is set to begin in Q4 2025 and finish by the end of Q1 2026. Upon successful certification, the company plans to scale its solution to support wider municipal and industrial water needs.
