Startup Atoco Plans to Make Water From Air Using Data Center Waste Heat

Original: 📰 A Startup Has a Plan to Make Water From Air Using Data Centers’ Waste Heat Atoco’s new machines use specialized materi

Startup Atoco has unveiled machines that harvest drinking water from extremely dry air using specialized materials, powered by waste heat from data centers rather than electricity. The approach could turn data centers' excess thermal energy into a resource for water production in arid regions, drawing attention as both water scarcity and data center energy use grow.

Why now: Growing concern over water scarcity and the energy footprint of data centers makes a waste-heat-powered water harvesting solution timely.
