Montana Technologies Corporation , the developer of the transformational AirJoule® technology for atmospheric water generation, announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Climate Impact Corporation (“CIC”) to collaborate on the development of CIC’s renewable hydrogen production modules. Using AirJoule® atmospheric water generators from Montana Technologies, CIC expects that its modular hydrogen production units will be able to produce hydrogen in areas with high sun exposure at a competitive USD$2 per kilogram production price.
Montana Technologies, through its 50/50 joint venture with GE Vernova, is commercializing AirJoule® atmospheric water generators that harvest water from both humid and arid atmospheres, producing pure distilled water and dehumidified air. The AirJoule® units utilize metal organic framework coated contactors and a dual vacuum chamber to adsorb and desorb water from air in a highly efficient and scalable process.
Each of CIC’s modular hydrogen production units contains solar panels, atmospheric water generators, electrolysers and supporting infrastructure, enabling each unit to produce renewable hydrogen entirely off-grid. CIC intends to develop two 10GW renewable hydrogen projects utilizing its proprietary technology in central Australia, with other projects to follow in locations globally. The integration of the AirJoule® atmospheric water generators into the technology allows hydrogen to be produced anywhere that has a high sun exposure – including the world’s deserts.
