Furthermore, the push for energy-efficient and sustainable data center
operations, including the adoption of renewable energy and innovative cooling solutions, is shaping the industry’s future. While evaporative
cooling is the most efficient method for cooling data centers, it has high water requirements and puts stress on local water systems.
New data center designs are increasingly shifting away from evaporative cooling towards liquid cooling or hybrid systems that utilize
refrigerant cooling, which use less water but require more energy. AirJoule can utilize low-grade waste heat from data centers to produce
dehumidified air and pure distilled water at a very low levelized cost, enabling a refreshed look at energy-efficient adiabatic cooling.
The use of waste heat to create water for adiabatic cooling can improve the data center’s power usage effectiveness through reduced thermal load and more efficient cooling. Further, on-site water generation from AirJoule can reduce reliance on municipal
water systems, which are increasingly strained by the development of water-intensive operations such as data centers and advanced manufacturing
facilities.

Advanced Manufacturing

Advanced manufacturing in the United States is experiencing significant
growth, driven by increased investments in domestic production, technological innovation, and supply chain resilience. Key sectors such
as semiconductors, aerospace, biotechnology, food and beverage, and renewable energy components are expanding as companies seek to capitalize
on government incentives, such as the CHIPS Act, and reduce dependency on foreign suppliers.

Pure water and precise humidity control are critical in advanced manufacturing
processes, where even slight deviations in environmental conditions can compromise product quality, equipment performance, and operational
efficiency. Industries such as semiconductor fabrication, pharmaceutical production, and aerospace manufacturing rely on ultra-pure water
for cleaning, chemical mixing, and cooling, as impurities can lead to defects or inefficiencies in highly sensitive processes. Similarly,
controlled dehumidification is essential to maintain optimal moisture levels, preventing corrosion, condensation, and contamination of
materials and components. The need for these systems is further heightened in cleanroom environments, where stringent air quality standards
demand advanced filtration and humidity regulation to ensure compliance.

AirJoule can be integrated into manufacturing operations to harvest
pure distilled water from the atmosphere, recapture water vapor from exhaust air, and provide a more efficient source of dehumidified
air compared to existing desiccant-based dehumidification systems. This results in lower
