AirJoule Technologies Announces $15 Million Investment Anchored by GE Vernova
RONAN, Mont., April 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AirJoule Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:AIRJ) ("AirJoule Technologies" or the "Company"), today announced that it has entered into subscription agreements to issue approximately $15 million in common stock in a private placement to GE Vernova and other investors (the "PIPE") to accelerate commercialization of the transformational AirJoule® system for separating pure water from air. This announcement follows the Company's breakthrough performance of AirJoule®, which can separate water from air at less than 160 watt-hours per liter when utilizing low-grade waste heat available from most industrial operations.
GE Vernova Anchors $15 Million Equity Investment
GE Vernova, along with new and existing AIRJ investors, has agreed to purchase newly issued shares of the Company's common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $15 million. The PIPE is expected to close on April 25, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. GE Vernova's participation in the PIPE follows its initial investment in AirJoule Technologies of $5 million made in March 2024 in connection with the formation of a 50/50 joint venture with AirJoule Technologies (the "AirJoule JV").
The net proceeds from the $15 million PIPE will be used to accelerate the commercialization of the AirJoule® A1000™ units to meet strong customer interest. Each AirJoule® A1000™ unit is expected to produce 1,000 to 3,000 liters of pure water per day, with delivery to select customers for pilot deployments expected in 2025. Both GE Vernova's investment into the Company, as well as the ongoing technical collaboration between the AirJoule JV and the GE Vernova Advanced Research Center to develop advanced sorbents, refine key components, and optimize system performance, highlight the teams' dedication to commercializing the AirJoule® system.
Titan Partners Group, a division of American Capital Partners, is acting as lead placement agent for the PIPE, with Marathon Capital acting as co-placement agent.
AirJoule Technologies and GE Vernova Commence Strategic Project on Waste Heat to Water
As AirJoule Technologies recently announced, AirJoule® can utilize low-grade waste heat to produce pure distilled water with market-leading energetics of below 160 watt-hours per liter. This superior performance unlocks tremendous market opportunities for on-site distributed water production for industrial activities such as data centers, power generation, and advanced manufacturing.
To advance AirJoule®'s waste heat to water application, the Company and GE Vernova have agreed to explore the integration of AirJoule® technology into GE Vernova products with a focus on the utilization of low-grade waste heat to produce water. The project will examine AirJoule®'s capability to convert low-grade waste heat into pure distilled water with GE Vernova's technology and product offerings and establish performance across a range of environmental conditions. If successful, the project could accelerate AirJoule® deployments at data centers and other industrial operations to improve energy efficiency and produce pure water on site.
AirJoule Technologies Chief Executive Officer, Matt Jore said, "We are thrilled by GE Vernova's continued investment into AirJoule Technologies and their ongoing support to commercialize the AirJoule® technology through our joint venture. GE Vernova's investment and commitment to the strategic waste heat to water project underscores their confidence in our shared vision and positions us to drive innovation while advancing commercialization of this transformational technology."
AirJoule Technologies Chief Commercialization Officer, Bryan Barton said, "AirJoule®'s performance marks a step change in water harvesting efficiency and offers a solution to global water scarcity by allowing humanity to tap into water stored in the most reliable freshwater aquifer – the atmosphere. GE Vernova has been a great joint venture collaborator, and I look forward to working on the strategic waste heat to water project with the talented researchers at GE Vernova's Advanced Research Center."
Limor Spector, President of Ventures at GE Vernova, said "Our investment in AirJoule Technologies builds on a history of collaboration to advance cutting-edge projects. Together, the joint venture leverages our expertise in advanced sorbents and AirJoule Technologies' proprietary system to solve fundamental global challenges at the nexus of energy and water."
