Nobel laureate Prof Omar Yaghi's invention extracts up to 1,000 liters of clean water daily from the air using reticular chemistry.
Developed by Atoco, the technology offers a sustainable water solution for regions like Grenada, facing hurricanes, droughts, and coastal erosion.
The machine's operation on ultra-low-grade thermal energy makes it ideal for remote locations, reducing reliance on traditional infrastructure and desalination plants.
Yaghi's invention transforms water accessibility in arid regions
A groundbreaking invention by Nobel laureate Prof Omar Yaghi is set to revolutionize water accessibility in arid regions and islands prone to extreme weather events. Yaghi's machine, utilizing reticular chemistry, extracts moisture from the air, producing up to 1,000 liters of clean water daily. Developed by Atoco, this technology operates using ultra-low-grade thermal energy and is about the size of a 20-foot shipping container.
