U.S. Army Turns Waste Heat Into Clean Water for Soldiers

The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) has entered into a three-year Cooperative Research & Development Agreement (CRADA) with AirJoule Technologies Corporation to convert waste heat from tactical generator and other field-systems into potable water via advanced atmospheric water generation technology.

The system uses AirJoule’s patented platform to absorb moisture from ambient air using sorbent materials and then utilizes recovered waste heat to trigger condensation, producing clean water even in arid, water-scarce locations.

The military-grade application enables forward-deployed units to have a consistent water supply without relying on conventional supply chains.

The implications are significant: by capturing waste thermal energy and turning it into clean drinking water, the Army can reduce logistical burdens, enhance sustainability, and improve resilience in remote or hostile environments where traditional water sources are unavailable or compromised.

The effort underscores how energy efficiency, water security, and operational readiness are increasingly interconnected in modern military engineering.
