AirJoule selected as winner of Net Zero Innovation Hub competition

AirJoule Technologies (AIRJ) announced that the AirJoule system was named as one of three winners of the Net Zero Innovation Hub for Data Centers competition. The program, backed by Google, Microsoft, Data4, Vertiv, Schneider Electric, and Danfoss, connects European data center operators and suppliers to accelerate the industry’s path to net zero.The competition requested proposals from companies across three themes: Next-Generation Data Center Technologies, Sector Coupling Technologies and Business Models, and Backup Power and Renewable Energy Storage. More than seventy companies applied, and AirJoule was ultimately chosen as one of three winners. AirJoule was the only winner focused on water usage in data centers, reflecting the unique potential of its platform to address water sustainability in mission-critical facilities. As a winner, AirJoule Technologies has been invited to join the Net Zero Innovation Hub in early 2026 and to work with the group’s partners o demonstrate AirJoule’s ability to utilize waste heat from data centers to produce pure water at a data center test facility. The results from this demonstration project will be used to inform further policy recommendations and net-zero reference designs for data centers.
