SEAS SA AND HYPERCUBE WORK TOGETHER TO PRODUCE WATER FROM THE AIR AND ADDRESS GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES. BY COMBINING ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES, THEY STRIVE TO MAKE WATER ACCESSIBLE IN A SUSTAINABLE WAY, IMPROVE THE MANAGEMENT OF WATER RESOURCES AND REDUCE IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT, ESSENTIAL TO GUARANTEE A BETTER FUTURE FOR OUR PLANET
Innovation and sustainability are at the heart of the new collaboration between SEAS SA and Hypercube
SEAS SA, company based in Switzerland, a leader in the design and construction of advanced systems for the production of water from air, has announced a new and important collaboration with Hypercubea Swiss company at the forefront of sustainability technologies. This step aims to guide SEAS towards innovative, low-impact environmental solutions, with a particular focus on the sustainable management of water resources.
Technology available for energy and water savings
SEAS produces water from the air with its machines, allowing significant energy savings thanks to the thermal contributions of HVAC, which the machines offer free of charge. These systems help reduce energy consumption, CO₂ emissions and necessary infrastructure, while maintaining high standards of water purity and quality. The use of this sustainable technology represents an innovative solution for improving energy efficiency and water management.
The integration of the blockchain system into water resources management
The collaboration with Hypercube focuses mainly on development and… water managementwhere the production of water from the air is rewarded and this is integrated into the water credit circuit. Thanks to a system based on blockchainHypercube provides secure and transparent tracking of resource recovery and reuse for high-impact environmental projects. Together, SEAS and Hypercube will enable companies to improve their sustainability performance and accelerate the global ecological transition.
What is meant by water credit?
During one of the webinars broadcast on LinkedIn, Oscar van Montigny and Pietro Gorgazzini from Hypercube illustrated what the water creditthe most efficient way to reuse water.
It turned out that water credits are a system similar to carbon credits, allowing companies to offset their water use and encourage the reuse of the resource. Every time a company reuses water, for example by filtering it for a new use cycle, a ‘token’ is created representing the recovered resource. This token is tracked via blockchain, ensuring transparency and preventing fraud, such as in the case of double settlements. Companies can then buy or sell these credits to demonstrate their commitment to sustainable water management, especially in view of European sustainability regulations. The use of water credits not only reduces water waste, but can also generate economic value, support the local economy and encourage change towards more efficient and responsible practices in natural resource management.
Extracting water from the air: a sustainable solution for the future
The idea of extracting water from atmospheric humidity is not new and has its roots in age-old practices, but today it represents a potential solution to combat growing water scarcity on a global level. As climate change reduces available water sources, moisture harvesting could become one of the keys to ensuring access to water, especially in remote areas without access to electricity.
There are passive and active methods of removing water from the air. The former, such as those that exploit the formation of dew, do not require energy and are already used in several innovative technologies. Active methods, powered by electricity, are already widespread, as in the case of cooling systems or dehumidifiers. Evolving technologies, such as those based on advanced absorbent materials, are constantly being improved, making the collection of atmospheric water increasingly efficient and sustainable, with the potential to revolutionize water management in the future (Source: Il Sole 24 Ore).
An important step for a sustainable future
«This partnership represents a major innovation for water conservation and an incentive to harvest water from the air in an integrated and sustainable way. A unique opportunity to support companies and customers in significantly reducing their water footprint, with water credits as a central part of their strategies», stated Rinaldo Bravo from SEAS.
On the other hand, Hypercube is constantly looking for high-impact technological solutions, which should be encouraged by generating and marketing water credits for every cubic meter coming from alternative water sources or withdrawal from aquifers or aqueducts. Furthermore, “Hypercube is committed to reinvesting part of its revenues to finance the large-scale adoption of technologies developed by its partners to solve water problems in regions of the world affected by drought.», stated Jacopo Gerli from Hypercube. Emphasize that «working with an international company like Hypercube, with roots in Ticino, is an extraordinary opportunity to strengthen the positioning of our canton as a vanguard in water technologies».
