AW(E)G: The Essence of Life from the Air

Global Water and Energy Scarcity with Increasing Demand

AWEG, by PiKARE, addresses the critical and interconnected challenges of global water and energy scarcity, impacting millions worldwide.

Scale of the Problem:

• Globally:
  • 2 billion people lack access to clean water, with 3.6 billion lacking safely managed sanitation [1].
  • 1.3 billion lack access to electricity [2].
• Climate Change:
  • Is projected to exacerbate water scarcity in many regions by 2050 [3].
  • Increases energy demand for cooling and water treatment, putting additional pressure on resources.

Local Statistics (Examples):

• Sub-Saharan Africa: 43% of the population lacks access to safe drinking water, and 57% lack access to basic sanitation [4].
• South Asia: 14% of the population lacks access to safe drinking water, and 21% lack access to basic sanitation [4].

Factors Contributing to the Problem:

• Population growth and increasing urbanization are putting strain on existing water and energy resources.
• Climate change is leading to more frequent and severe droughts, impacting water availability.
• Inefficient water management practices, such as over-extraction and pollution, are further exacerbating scarcity.
• Limited access to sustainable and affordable water and energy solutions, especially in developing countries.

How AWEG Relates to the Problem:

AWEG directly addresses several key factors contributing to water and energy scarcity:

• Provides a sustainable source of clean water: AWEG generates water from ambient air, reducing reliance on overexploited water resources and minimizing the impact of climate change on water availability.
• Provides renewable energy: AWEG is powered by radiation effect of the sun, a renewable source, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and their associated environmental impacts.
• Offers a decentralized solution: AWEG systems are scalable and modular, making them suitable for both individual households and communities, particularly in remote areas with limited access to traditional grid infrastructure.

By offering a sustainable, reliable, and accessible solution for water and energy generation, AWEG has the potential to alleviate scarcity, improve public health, and empower communities, contributing significantly to solving the global challenges of water and energy security.

These accomplishments led to the system being awarded the Best Innovation Prize in 2021 and most recently Best Disruptive Climate Technology Award during EGYPES24 Climatech Challenge, among 1800 applicants worldwide.

Our team at PiKARE understands the profound challenges of water and energy scarcity firsthand. For the past 15 years, we haven't simply studied water scarcity, but also engaged directly with individuals and communities facing these issues in remote areas, agricultural communities, and industrial settings. We've built strong relationships with these communities, listening to their experiences, observing the impact of scarcity on their lives, and actively seeking their insights throughout the development process of AW(E)G.

This proximity and collaborative approach are fundamental to our mission. We believe that genuine understanding and meaningful community involvement are essential for designing solutions that are culturally appropriate, socially responsible, and truly impactful.

We are committed to fostering a team that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve. We actively strive to include individuals with diverse backgrounds and perspectives in all aspects of our work, ensuring that AW(E)G reflects the needs and values of the people it aims to empower.

By prioritizing community engagement and actively incorporating their voices, we strive to ensure that AW(E)G not only addresses the technical challenges of water and energy scarcity but also empowers the communities it serves to build a more sustainable and equitable future.

AWEG, by PiKARE, is currently in the pilot stage, having successfully launched a staggering 2 tons/day model in several communities for 3 yrs operation. This pilot demonstrates the solution's potential and offers valuable insights for ongoing development. We have also another 100 liters/day MVP having operational about 3 yrs. 

Key achievements of the pilot:

• Production: The pilot successfully generates up to 2,000 liters of clean drinking water per day (28 microsiemens water Quality), exceeding EPA and WHO standards.
• Efficiency: AWEG boasts a record-breaking low energy consumption of 100-150 kW/day ( based on fluctuating atmospheric conditions), thanks to its revolutionary design and improvements during 15 yrs of continuous R&D, making it the most efficient air-to-water system on Earth (Condensed based systems, which are predominant in the market require 800-1500KW to produce 2000 Liters water).

• User Impact: The pilot directly benefits over 100 individuals in the community, providing them with access to clean water and contributing to improved health and well-being.

Ongoing Development:

Based on the pilot's learnings and ongoing research, PiKARE is actively working on:

• Design optimization: Refining the AWEG system to further enhance efficiency, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.
