The project, begins this month, reported the UAE news agency WAM on Sunday. The three party project will "evaluate the performance of AQUOVUM’s large format Atmospheric Water Generation (AWG) technology in combination with a renewable energy source, and its ability to be included in current and/or future sustainable water projects," said the news agency.

"The project will positively contribute to regional and global water security in line with the UAE Water Security Strategy 2036, and as the only planned and approved R&D cluster in Abu Dhabi, we are committed to facilitating R&D projects that bring ground-breaking new technologies to the world and contribute to building a more sustainable future for all. Masdar City is already home to over 900 companies, dedicated to developing innovative technologies across the sectors of renewables, energy storage, water, artificial intelligence, health, space, and mobility," said Abdulla Balalaa, Executive Director, Sustainable Real Estate at Masdar City in the statement.

The AWG technology extracts water from the atmosphere using a renewable energy source. It is a carbon-free technology that makes access to clean water, a necessity in building a greener future, the companies said.
