AWG- Atmosheric Water Generators
We can no longer take water for granted — or rely on a single source to sustain us.
Aquifers that took millennia to fill are being depleted in decades. Glaciers are retreating. Rainfall is becoming unpredictable. Billions of people are already feeling the consequences.
But nature has another answer. The air around us — in every climate, in every corner of the world — holds water. Atmospheric Water Generation harnesses that invisible abundance, turning humidity into clean, drinkable water with no river, no reservoir, and no rainfall required.
The question is no longer whether we can find new sources of water. We already have. The question is how quickly we can scale them.
BIP brings together the world's best AWG solutions — connecting innovators with the cities, businesses and investors ready to make water scarcity a problem of the past.
4 areas of excellence
1. EAWD
EAWD (Energy and Water Development Corp) is a US/German green-tech engineering company specialising in fully off-grid, solar-powered AWG systems designed for extreme and water-stressed environments. With offices in the US, Germany and Mexico, they focus on delivering turnkey water and energy solutions to communities, municipalities and commercial projects worldwide.
Key strengths
EAWD's defining edge is scale and total energy independence — their systems are 100% solar-powered with no grid connection required, making them deployable in the most remote and water-stressed locations. They have cited municipal-scale projects producing up to 5 million litres per day, and hold patents in multiple countries including the US, Mexico and Brazil. They also combine AWG with waste-to-energy and EV charging, making them a rare multi-solution green-tech provider.
Main sectors: Municipal, Industrial, and Remote communities. Purely B2B, focused on large-scale off-grid deployments for governments and cities.
Flagship size: The Pyramid: producing 300 000L/day

2. HuProTec
HuProtec is a Swiss company offering a range of high-efficiency AWGs, from compact home and office units to large-scale industrial and maritime systems. They are on a mission to bring reliable, infrastructure-independent clean water to communities and businesses around the world.
Key strengths
Their proprietary heat exchanger design uses 57–71% less energy than traditional AWGs, making solar-powered deployment genuinely viable. They offer one of the widest ranges on the market, from a $1,190 home unit up to the Waterstation ALPHA — a city-scale, solar-powered station producing 250,000 L/day, claimed to be the world's largest AWG installation.
Main sectors: Industrial, Maritime, Home/Office. Widest range — the only one with a dedicated consumer product starting at $1,190, plus a maritime unit and city-scale stations.

3. SkyH20
SkyH2O is a US company with German engineering roots, specialising in industrial-grade AWG systems and turnkey water projects for commercial, industrial and government clients. Built around their flagship Maximus 4260™ unit, they operate as an Independent Water Provider, deploying scalable projects in water-stressed communities across the US and beyond.
Key strengths
SkyH2O's Maximus 4260™ is a modular, mobile, turnkey system with a 25+ year design life — units can be deployed individually or stacked into large-scale projects starting at 50,000 L/day with no upper limit. Their distributed water generation model ("Water 4.0") is designed to integrate directly with existing reservoir infrastructure, making adoption faster and cheaper than building new supply systems. They have live deployments in the US, including a station in Dickinson, TX, and are actively pursuing project-based global expansion.
Main sectors: Municipal, Commercial/Industrial, Government, Disaster relief, Hospitals. Project-based model targeting water districts and large facilities.

4. Beyond Water
BeyondWater is a UK-based company and exclusive partner of Maithri Aquatech, operating 300+ deployed projects across the globe and having produced over 100 million litres of water to date. Their patented bespoke mineral dosing technology — developed with ex-NASA scientists — sets them apart, allowing water quality to be customised for specific populations, from pregnant women to livestock to crops.
Key strengths
BeyondWater's patented mineral dosing technology is unique in the market — water mineral content can be customised per deployment for people, plants or animals. Their energy efficiency of 0.25 kWh/L is claimed to be 77% below the market average. With 300+ live projects including Indian Railways, Amazon's largest campus, USAID programmes and wildlife conservation in Kenya, they have one of the strongest real-world track records of any AWG company globally. Certified ISO 9001, CE and approved by Indian Railways and FSSAI.
Sector focus: Municipal, Agriculture, Conservation/Wildlife, Industrial (oil rigs, power plants, manufacturing), Railways, Retail/Corporate (Amazon), Military/Defence, Healthcare, Rural communities, Bottling plants.
