Agua de sol (Sunair fountain)

Energy Efficiency
Renewable Energy
Water Efficiency

Agua de Sol developed the SunAir Fountain, a water panel which captures humidity in the air at night, condenses it during the day thanks to solar heat, and produces quality fresh water all in full autonomy (no electricity/grid, no CO2, no plastic).

This is an effective alternative to plastic bottled water, and water scarcity in some countries, which is both economical (the cost per liter of SunAir Fountain water is at least 5 to 10 times lower than that of bottled water) and ecological (no plastic, no transport, no CO2, no pollution).

Agua de Sol addresses three markets: (1) The 2 billion people with limited or no access to safe drinking water and the 2.4 billion people who have access to fresh water (from the tap) but do not drink it for various reasons, opting instead for plastic bottled water. (2) Irrigation for vertical and hydroponic/ greenhouses. (3) Sterile and demineralized water for hospitals, clinics and labs.

Wave Beat/Atarec

Renewable Energy
Water Efficiency

Advanced Third Age Renewable Energies Company (ATAREC) is a Moroccan startup that aims to position itself as a leader in innovative third-generation renewable energy solutions, with the goal of ensuring green energy autonomy for its partners. ATAREC is distinguished by its Wave Beat wave energy pilot solution, a solution patented in more than 70 countries.

With around 50% of the population living near the seas, ATAREC wants to become an economic, social and environmentally responsible leader, working for a positive impact on people and the planet thanks to its solutions aimed at facilitating access to energy and water.

Wave energy for its part is distinguished by its continuity — the waves do not stop! This is a smoothing effect of wind energy. As a result, WAVE BEAT has proven a load factor in Tangier Med exceeding the threshold for offshore wind power of around 60%. On the other hand, WAVE BEAT, thanks to its amplification system and by exploiting onshore advantages while being offshore, has proven a LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) among the most competitive technologies in the world of wave energies.
