An innovative new Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG) developed by the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology has taken home the prestigious Water Europe Innovation Award, the university announced on Thursday.
Titled H2OLL,
the AWG functions by converting water vapor that is abundant in the air
into drinkable water. While this technology is similar to other
products, such as Watergen, the team behind H2OLL is confident that it is technologically superior and can function without an external power source.
It
functions using Atmospheric Moisture Harvesting (AMH) technology to
extract moisture from the air, which is something that can even be found
in arid and desert regions.

Water shortage is a serious problem faced by states worldwide, with
over 670 million people (over 10% of the global population) believed to
have little to no access to drinking water. But solutions like H20LL
can help solve this, which is notable for being in line with the UN's
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which include the right of every
person to have access to clean water.
The
prototype for the H2OLL technology has been used throughout the winter
of 2019-2020, during the COVIDE-19 pandemic, and is currently on its way
to becoming a company.
