Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) isn't just part of our clean energy transition: it's the backbone. It bridges our industrial present to a sustainable future.    With the power to cut billions of tonnes of CO2 emissions, CCUS is vital for industries such as cement production lacking carbon-free alternatives. It's a key piece in the puzzle to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.   How will science improve this crucial technology?    Discover the transformative methods for reducing CO2 emissions and the intricate science of reticular chemistry that will create low-cost direct air capture deployment at scale: https://lnkd.in/d3Urw69d

As stated in an article from Yale Climate Connections, "Drought is the great enemy of human civilization, for it deprives us of the two essentials of life — food and water."   The fact is, climate change intensifies water scarcity, putting food production increasingly at risk.   But there’s hope on the horizon…   Atoco is spearheading progress with a global team of leading scientists, innovative entrepreneurs, and business leaders to leverage science that tackles water shortages.   Our off-grid atmospheric water harvesting technology produces clean, potable water from the air that meets WHO/EPA standards, with low costs and minimal maintenance.    By ensuring water availability, Atoco’s solutions will also boost food production, improving yields and cutting costs––paving the path to sustainability.   To learn more, read our blog 'Managing the Water-Energy-Food Nexus - Sustainable Solutions for the Water Crisis': https://lnkd.in/dKhyfEp2 Read the Yale Climate Connections article 'What are the odds that extreme weather will lead to a global food shock?': https://lnkd.in/dEhYXwgp 

Reflecting on Australia's Murray-Darling Basin crisis reveals critical lessons for water-scarce regions worldwide. It's a cautionary tale of how unchecked water commodification has disproportionately impacted smaller farmers, local communities, and Indigenous groups. Key factors impacting water scarcity include: ✅ Powerful interests diverting water  ✅ Uncontrolled extraction harming farmers, wildlife, communities ✅ Indigenous communities marginalized despite water rights ✅ Lack of oversight, leading to speculative water trading This crisis underscores the urgent need for sustainable water management policies that balance economic interests with environmental stewardship.

Severe water shortages are threatening Italy's tourism industry, particularly in key destinations like Sicily. Prolonged droughts have severely disrupted hotel operations, forcing them to ration water and compromising the guest experience. (https://lnkd.in/djBeX39E) This crisis poses significant economic risks for a region heavily reliant on tourism. Despite the Sicilian government's appeal for water subsidies, concrete plans remain elusive, worsened by the inactivity of essential desalination plants over the past decade.   "The situation is already impacting the entire tourist accommodation sector, with potentially dire economic consequences,” warns Giovanni Lopez, a B&B owner. Unfortunately, such scenarios are increasingly common worldwide. At Atoco, we're advancing economically viable atmospheric water harvesting technology as a sustainable, quickly deployable, and reliable solution. By extracting water directly from the air, our aim is to safeguard vital sectors like Italy’s tourism industry and tackle comparable global challenges.    Learn more about our technology: https://lnkd.in/dBZR_Gh5 #climatechange #waterscarcity #reticularchemistry

The key to solving climate change is all around us—in the air we breathe. Did you know the atmosphere holds 10x more fresh water than all the earth’s rivers combined? But it also has rising CO2 levels, driving up temperatures. What if we could capture both water and carbon from the air? Discover how Atoco is making this a reality: https://lnkd.in/d97KVxp6

By 2100, 66% of the global population may face water scarcity due to climate change and socioeconomic factors. However, innovative solutions are on the horizon: cutting-edge technologies that extract water directly from the air offer a sustainable and scalable approach to this pressing issue.   In our new whitepaper, Water for a Hungry World (https://lnkd.in/dvQvBRWy), we explore how reticular materials can address the water-energy-food challenge, even in the most arid regions. Benefits of atmospheric water harvesting: ✅ Consistent water source: Provides a reliable supply, independent of scarce natural resources ✅ Infrastructure relief: Reduces strain on existing water systems ✅ Climate-friendly: Environmentally sustainable and energy-efficient Learn more about the critical issues we are addressing, with insights from researchers at Utrecht University on the escalating global clean water crisis: https://lnkd.in/g7y22QMB #MOFs #Reticularchemistry #atmosphericwaterharvesting

Europe is now the world’s fastest warming continent, according to the EEA. Water scarcity is having a significant impact, particularly for food production where lower crop yields are contributing to higher prices. Read our whitepaper (https://lnkd.in/daWy9hkb) to learn how groundbreaking new atmospheric water harvesting technology can make a transformational difference.   For background information, read the ING Economics article: 'Climate change adaptation pressure heats up for food and agriculture companies’ (https://lnkd.in/dbZjiSxt). #ClimateChange #Sustainability #Agriculture #Innovation #WaterScarcity #EnergyEfficiency #WEFnexu

At Atoco, we're pioneering Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology that efficiently captures residual CO2, even in low concentration environments—paving the way for affordable and sustainable CO2 removal. However, the path to widespread adoption isn't just about technology. A new Boston Consulting Group (BCG) report highlights the critical need for a robust carbon market and clear carbon pricing. To bridge the 10 billion-tonne carbon removal gap by 2050, policies such as carbon pricing, regulatory mandates, and financial incentives are essential.   Our focus remains on developing novel technology to support these mechanisms when they're established. We believe our innovations will play a crucial role in the future of carbon removal.   Curious to learn more?
