 use of off-grid solar and wind power systems will provide an advantage in addressing water scarcity in the coming decades.

Initial installation would be more costly than the cloudseeding approaches and requires a small amount of semi-permanent land to operate from. However, RET’s system would be able to operate continually up to 365 days per year, and key post-installation costs would be modest, including electricity and monitoring. Once installed, the system is expected to use approximately 600 kwH of energy consumption per year. Reliance on natural updrafts would limit targeting but would minimize energy use and avoid using chemicals in the rain generation process. Ultimately, some of the water that condenses due to RET’s operation will come out of nearby oceans per the established “water cycle”.

In Oman, over a six-year randomized third-party trial from 2013 to 2018, an ionization rainfall generation system based on existing technology generated an average of approximately 16% of additional rainfall according to results published by the National Institute for Applied Statistics Research Australia (“NIASRA”), a third-party research organization, in the International Statistical Review. Three years after this trial occurred, news reporters in Oman continued to report enhanced rainfall as compared to prior years when the hardware was not operating. In addition, trials performed by third-party individuals funded by the National Key Research and Development Plan of China and the National Natural Science Foundation of China in the Wushaoling and Liupan Mountains in China also indicate that an ionization rainfall generation system helped increase rainfall in the area by 20%. RET believes significant improvements from software, synchronization with real-time weather, and broader placement would lead to even greater rainfall generation. Furthermore, RET believes it can create an ionization rainfall generation team that will be well capitalized, with the full suite of expertise required, to commercialize and scale ionization rainfall generation.

Commercialization and Scale of Ionization Rainfall Generation Technology

Ionization rainfall generation technology has shown promise in third-party trials, and thus commercialization and scale of this technology will require a strong go-to-market and operations infrastructure to show the market the rain enhancement capacities of these systems. The first phase of commercialization is expected to include leveraging RET’s management and expected Board to develop global sales organizational structures and methodologies, as well as building operations, sales, marketing and customer service functions to accelerate client traction. RET also intends to create operating momentum by achieving enhanced rainfall in the initial systems that it deploys, in order to demonstrate the viability of this technology
