AirJoule Technologies Announces Memorandum of Understanding with Data Center Developer to Advance Onsite Water Production Using Waste Heat

RONAN, Mont., June 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AirJoule Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: AIRJ) (“AirJoule Technologies” or the “Company”), the developer of the transformational AirJoule® technology for separating pure water from air, today announced it has signed a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with a developer of hyperscale data centers to collaborate on the use of AirJoule® technology to generate pure distilled water from ambient air using low-grade waste heat generated by data center operations.

The goal of the collaboration is to evaluate opportunities to integrate AirJoule® into data center designs and create a sustainable source of distilled and demineralized water for evaporative cooling and other onsite needs, reducing dependence on local water resources and supporting long-term infrastructure resilience. Initial work under the MOU will focus on engineering assessments and performance modeling, leading to future deployment.

“As data centers scale to meet the demands of AI and cloud computing, they are becoming major consumers of both electricity and water,” said Matt Jore, CEO of AirJoule Technologies. “Heat from the data center server racks, which is currently rejected and lost into the atmosphere, is an untapped resource that AirJoule® can use to produce pure water from the air. This partnership represents a forward-thinking approach to digital infrastructure sustainability.”

The MOU builds on the growing recognition that data center water use, which can exceed millions of gallons per year per facility, poses growing environmental and operational risks, particularly in water-stressed regions. Many large operators are now seeking technologies that improve water efficiency, reduce reliance on municipal supplies, and build greater site independence.

The Company’s patented AirJoule® system uses proprietary sorbent materials and a dual-chamber pressure system to extract pure, PFAS-free, distilled water from the atmosphere using any low-grade heat. In data center environments, AirJoule® can utilize the heat exhausted from servers to create a closed-loop system that turns waste heat into a valuable resource – pure distilled water from air.

About AirJoule Technologies Corporation

AirJoule Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: AIRJ) is the developer of AirJoule®, a water harvesting technology that provides efficient and sustainable air dehumidification and pure water from air. Designed to reduce energy consumption and generate material cost efficiencies, AirJoule® is being commercialized through a joint venture with GE Vernova and through partnerships with Carrier Global Corporation and BASF.
