Irvine startup pulls water out of the air

Irvine-based startup Atoco has developed an atmospheric water harvester utilizing metallic organic frameworks (MOFs) to extract over 1,000 gallons of clean water daily from the air. This technology is being considered for use in data centers and other critical infrastructure to address water scarcity and reduce reliance on strained local water systems. A competitor, AirJoule Technologies, is also developing similar MOF-based solutions.
