Water OceanWell Taps Deep Ocean to Redefine Sustainable Desalination Water scarcity is rapidly becoming one of the most pressing global challenges, driven by climate change, population growth, and declining freshwater reserves. While desalination has long been seen as part of the solution, conventional systems remain energy-intensive, land-heavy, and environmentally controversial. OceanWell is advancing a new approach that rethinks how
ING saved 33 million liters of water in its first 2 years. Water Revolutionizing Water Management: How Technology is Tackling Water Waste in Buildings. Shayp client ING went live in 2022 and has already saved over 3 million litres per year. In a couple of months, they were able to avoid 473 kg of carbon emissions by just monitoring their water and taking action efficiently.
News New Ecosystem Resource Directory Launched to Support Water Technology Companies Worldwide A new Ecosystem Resource Directory is being developed to support water technology companies working to scale breakthrough innovations and proven solutions across the global water sector. The initiative aims to create a comprehensive, practical inventory of resources available to companies navigating the complex journey from innovation to market scale. By
Water Pulse Unveils Breakthrough Technology to Eliminate 'Forever Chemicals' from Wastewater by using Pulsed Plasma and Electron Beams In the global race to tackle PFAS contamination—often called “forever chemicals” for their resistance to breakdown—U.S.-based Pulse Wastewater has emerged with a potentially game-changing approach that aims not just to capture these pollutants, but to destroy them entirely. PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) have been widely
Water Nobel Honors Omar Yaghi for Chemistry Breakthrough Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs). This advance offers potential to create clean water from air and address global water security. Berkeley, CA — October 8, 2025 — Omar M. Yaghi, a professor of chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, has been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for pioneering a new class of crystalline materials that may hold the key to solving two of humanity’s most urgent challenges — capturing
The Water Project will assemble global innovators with solutions and needed resources Water Altru forms Global Water Project advance progress in addressing the global water crisis by finding and helping to scale the most promising innovations and proven solutions in water scarcity, toxicity and management. New York - Altru Institute announced the formation of the Global Water Project with the mission to advance technologies to address water scarcity and water toxicity and water management. Water is a highly fragmented industry that touches virtually every aspect of the human experience and without which there is no
PFAS Addressing PFAS. Forever chemicals are taking an irretrievable toll on health everywhere. What options exist? September 2025 — PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, often referred to as “forever chemicals,” have emerged as one of the most pressing environmental and public health challenges of the 21st century. Their extreme persistence in the environment and links to severe health risks have placed them at the center of
Water What are MOFs and why they are important global water supply Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are one of the most promising materials ever discovered for solving critical global challenges—including water scarcity. Synthesized in the early 2000s by Prof. Omar Yaghi at UC Berkeley, MOFs are crystalline materials made from metal ions (like aluminum or zinc) bound to organic molecules known
