AirJoule cuts ribbon on Newark area manufacturing site

“This milestone represents more than the opening of this facility—it marks a shared vision becoming a reality,” said Dr. Bryan Barton, chief commercialization officer of AirJoule Technologies and head of the AirJoule Joint Venture.  “It’s also a testament to the collaboration, dedication and support of our corporate and community partnerships. We’re proud to continue building something meaningful, not only for our organization, but for the broader community we’re privileged to be a part of.”

Following the ceremony, guests were invited to tour the facility and view a demonstration of an AirJoule  system, which uses advanced materials and a dual-vacuum chamber to harvest water vapor from the air.

The first preproduction AirJoule  system, capable of producing 1,000 liters or 264 gallons  of water per day, is expected this year, and commercial sales are expected to begin in 2026 from customers in the data center, military, and manufacturing sectors.

The  system produces pure, distilled, PFAS-free water from air, and in doing so, dehumidifies air much more efficiently than existing refrigerant or desiccant systems.

While AirJoule’s water generation has the potential to address water scarcity around the world, the advanced dehumidification capability is expected to improve the energy efficiency of air conditioning, which is responsible for 10% of global power consumption.

The company noted that the  Delaware Industrial Park was selected, in part, "due to the state’s business-friendly environment and the ability to tap into the state’s robust talent pool of scientists and engineers."

Additionally, the Delaware Prosperity Partnership assisted in procuring approximately $1 million of state grant funding from the State of Delaware.An inquiry to the County Chamber led to the effort to assist the company.

New Castle County Executive Marcus Henry said, “Delaware and New Castle County has long been a place where science, engineering and innovation meet real world application. That tradition continues today with AirJoule’s arrival and expansion. This facility brings cutting edge technology but also, most importantly, jobs, investment and potential for growth. We’re proud to see AirJoule choose to build and scale here. AirJoule’s presence contributes directly to a more resilient, advanced and economically vibrant New Castle County.”

AirJoule is being commercialized through a joint venture with GE Vernova and in partnership with Carrier Global Corporation. Further informatino is available at  https://airjouletech.com.
