Invented Multivariate MOF Material Enables Sustainable Atmospheric Water Generation for Rescue and Military Vehicles with Zero Carbon Emissions

联合国估计，到2030年，严重的水资源短缺可能会使大约7亿人流离失所，到2025年，世界上一半的人口可能生活在缺水地区。由于使用量增加和气候变化，不可避免的全球水资源短缺已经导致世界各地的许多政府、机构、组织和工业公司开始研究替代水源。在这方面，伯明翰大学孵化的初创公司NovNat Tech发明了一种新型的多变体金属有机框架材料，能够在世界任何环境下从空气中提取水，大大减少了能源使用，并完全消除了水生产过程中的碳排放。创始团队将利用该项目调查和开发一种用于救援和军用车辆的大气制水装置，利用废热驱动制水过程，以期在英国和全球范围内将该产品商业化，并在2024年底之前提供另一种可持续的供水解决方案。

The UN estimates that by 2030, intense water scarcity could displace around 700 million people and, by 2025, half of the world's population could be living in areas facing water scarcity. The inevitable global water shortage due to increased usage and climate change, has caused many governments, institutions, organisations and industrial corporations around the world to investigate alternative sources of water. In this regard, NovNat Tech, a start-up incubated at the University of Birmingham, has invented a novel Multivariant Metal Organic Framework material capable of extracting water from air in any environment around the world, significantly reducing energy usage and fully eliminating carbon emissions from the water production process. The founding team will utilise this project to investigate and develop an atmospheric water generation device for rescue and military vehicles utilizing the waste heat to drive the water generation process, with the vision of commercialising the product in the UK and across the globe to provide an alternative sustainable water providing solution by the end of 2024\.
