Provision of Atmospheric Water Generators (Water from Air) for On site Cooling
| Topic | Operate the AQ 60V atmospheric water generators (AWG) in the vicinity of competition venues for the World Athletics Championships Tokyo 2025 to produce water for visitor mist showers, thereby supporting comprehensive heat mitigation measures |
|---|---|
| Project site | Areas surrounding competition venues |
| Product/service overview | Develop and sell water generators that produce safe water from ambient air using electricity. The AQ‑60V condenses moisture from the air and passes it through multiple filtration stages to deliver up to 60 liters per day of potable, high‑quality water—anytime, anywhere. |
| Expected effect | Outdoor events require reliable water not only for hydration but also for cooling experiences. By operating the AQ‑60V to supply safe water for mist showers near the venues, we will enhance cooling for visitors and contribute to a more comfortable environment. |

Japan is among the few countries where tap water is generally safe to drink; globally, only around 15 countries are said to offer comparable safety. Even in Japan, aging infrastructure and events such as the Noto Peninsula earthquake have highlighted challenges, particularly the time required to restore drinking water systems.
We advocate a new lifestyle of “making your own drinking water” that is useful in everyday life and in emergencies. To deliver safe, high quality water in locations where access is difficult, we develop and commercialize devices that produce “Japan quality” water from air.
Through this project, we aim to validate the AQ 60V’s reliable operation under late summer Tokyo conditions and quantify its production capacity, advancing our mission to deliver clean water to people around the world.
