Gulf Construction|October 2024
IN a significant step towards enhancing water security and energy efficiency, the UAE has secured partnerships with two innovative technology companies. Montana Technologies Corporation and TenX Investment have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to deploy AirJoule atmospheric water generators in the UAE, while Emirates Electrical & Instrumentation Company (EEIC) and MediSun Energy have joined forces to improve desalination efficiency.
Innovative technologies to bolster water security

The collaboration between Montana Technologies, the developer of the AirJoule technology for atmospheric water generation, and TenX aims to leverage AirJoule's cutting-edge technology to generate pure distilled water from air and reduce energy consumption for air-conditioning. The company and TenX will explore options to deploy AirJoule units with initial installations focusing on critical infrastructure and community water needs.

"We are excited to work with TenX for this international deployment of AirJoule units," says Ramdas Rao, President, International of Montana Technologies. "The UAE has been at the forefront of adopting transformative technologies that enable sustainable development and responsible decarbonisation. Along with our strategic investors including Transition Equity Partners (TEP), GE Vernova, and Carrier Corporation, among others, we look forward to optimising our initial international rollout and operations in the UAE and working to enable water security and energy efficient comfort cooling in high growth markets around the world."

Pat Eilers, Executive Chairman of Montana Technologies and founder of TEP, says: "TenX's expertise and mission alignment in water security and sustainability projects makes them an ideal partner for deploying AirJoule in the UAE with a pathway towards further collaboration on local manufacturing and distribution in the future."
