Second International Atmospheric Water Harvesting Summit

Atmospheric water extraction or harvesting (AWH) is emerging as a potential solution to global water challenges, spanning from humanitarian and domestic drinking water needs to military operations or industrial water usage. Various industries, including beverage, healthcare, semiconductor, and data centers, are investing in research, pilot tests, and the integration of AWH into their water portfolio to achieve net-zero water footprints. Breakthroughs in material science, thermodynamics, and integrated process engineering are advancing AWH as an economical solution to be a new water source for these applications. The water quality produced by AWH is emerging as a new research area requiring attention

The 2nd International Atmospheric Water Harvesting Summit, hosted at Arizona State University, was created to encourage collaboration, and tackle the technical challenges posed by AWH:

• Water production rates
• Energy efficiency
• Microclimate impact
• Air quality influence on water quality
• Scaling innovations
