AIRJ Achieves 2025 Objectives Across Technology Validation, Product Development, and Strategic Partnerships
RONAN, Mont., March 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AirJoule Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: AIRJ) ("AirJoule Technologies" or "AIRJ"), a leading platform technology that unleashes the power of water from air, today announced its fourth quarter and full year 2025 results and provided a business update on its progress toward commercialization.
"2025 was a year of systematic execution for AirJoule Technologies," said Matt Jore, Chief Executive Officer of AirJoule Technologies. "Last year, we laid out five clear objectives for 2025: validate our technology in the field, advance our products toward commercial readiness, leverage our strategic partnerships, build a commercial pipeline, and ensure sufficient capitalization. We delivered on every one of those objectives. AirJouleTM systems completed field deployments across four geographies; we advanced the AirJoule Core system through multiple deployments which informed the design of our AirJoule Prime system; we expanded our partnerships with GE Vernova, the Net Zero Innovation Hub for Data Centers, the U.S. Army's Engineer Research and Development Center ("ERDC"), and TenX Investment in Energy Enterprises & Management Co ("TenX Investment"); we developed a structured customer engagement process; and we strengthened our balance sheet to provide us with operational runway through 2027."
"Looking ahead, 2026 is the year AirJoule transitions from development to deployment," Jore continued. "We expect to launch our first commercial products and execute customer deployments across data center, industrial, and international markets. The growing urgency of water resilience, from drought-stricken communities in Texas to conflict-disrupted desalination infrastructure in the Middle East, is accelerating demand for exactly what AirJoule delivers: distributed water generation from the atmosphere that is independent of centralized infrastructure."
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Highlights
Field Deployments and Technology Validation
- Dubai Future Labs: AIRJ operated an AirJoule system at the Dubai Future Labs, a government-affiliated research facility in Dubai, from February to December 2025, showcasing AirJoule's capabilities in real-world conditions to public and private sector customers from across the Middle East.
- Hubbard, Texas Field Demonstration: In September 2025, AIRJ deployed an AirJoule Core system to Hubbard, TX to demonstrate AirJoule's operations. The field deployment continued through December 2025, producing extensive operational data across diverse environmental conditions and validating AirJoule's performance for industrial water generation applications.
- Arizona State University: In December 2025, AIRJ delivered an AirJoule Core system to Arizona State University ("ASU"), one of the world's premier research institutions in the field of atmospheric water harvesting. At ASU, the system is undergoing an independent academic evaluation led by Dr. Paul Westerhoff, a globally recognized expert in atmospheric water harvesting. The ASU collaboration is expected to generate valuable, peer-reviewed research data and provide independent validation of AirJoule's performance in arid environments.
- Red Dot Ranch - Pescadero, California: In December 2025, AIRJ announced a collaboration with the Red Dot Ranch Foundation to demonstrate AirJoule's off-grid water generation capabilities for rural residential communities, expanding AirJoule's applicability beyond industrial and commercial markets. The initial pilot deployment took place with an AirJoule Core system from January to February 2026.
Strategic Partnerships and Agreements
- Net Zero Innovation Hub for Data Centers: In September 2025, AIRJ was selected as a winner of a technology competition seeking to improve energy and water sustainability for data centers. The Net Zero Innovation Hub's founding members include Google, Microsoft, Data4, Schneider Electric, Vertiv and Danfoss. In January 2026, AIRJ commenced its participation in the Net Zero Innovation Hub technology acceleration program in Denmark; it expects to deploy an AirJoule system at a data center facility in 2026, demonstrating AirJoule's capabilities for leading data center operators.
- Defense Contractor Agreement: In September 2025, AIRJ signed an agreement with a U.S. defense contractor to evaluate AirJoule's energy-efficient dehumidification for anti-corrosion applications at military storage facilities. Corrosion costs the U.S. Department of Defense billions of dollars annually, and AirJoule can provide dehumidified air at a fraction of the cost of conventional industrial dehumidifiers.
- U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center: In October 2025, AIRJ executed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the U.S. Army ERDC, one of the world's premier military research institutions. This collaboration is focused on integrating AirJoule's waste-heat-to-water platform with tactical waste heat recovery systems to deliver resilient water supply solutions for forward-deployed military personnel.
- TenX Investment Exclusive Distribution Agreement: In January 2026, AIRJ announced an exclusive distribution agreement with TenX Investment, providing AirJoule with market access and local expertise across six Gulf countries: the UAE, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Kuwait. TenX Investment has been a partner since August 2024 and was instrumental in deploying and operating the AirJoule system in Dubai in 2025. Initial deployments in the Middle East are planned for late 2026, subject to regional conditions.
Product Development and Manufacturing
- AirJoule Core: AIRJ made a deliberate decision in 2025 to focus its system builds on the AirJoule Core platform. Core is a two-chamber system, previously referred to as the A250 system, that serves as both a standalone commercial product for industrial dehumidification and a proof-of-value surrogate for the larger Prime water generator (previously referred to as the A1000 system). The learnings from multiple Core deployments throughout the year have directly informed the Prime design. AIRJ is finalizing the Core product design and preparing for third party certifications, with commercial launch expected in late 2026.
- AirJoule Prime: AirJoule Prime is a larger system designed for industrial-scale water production using waste heat. The first Prime system is currently being assembled at AIRJ's 45,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Newark, Delaware. Once operational, it will serve as an outdoor showcase unit enabling customers to see the full-scale system operating in real-world conditions. AIRJ will provide updates on Prime commercial deployment timing as the build progresses and operational experience is gained.
Commercial Pipeline Development
- Customer Engagement Cycle: AIRJ has developed a defined, repeatable customer engagement process advancing prospects through four stages: discovery and evaluation, proof of value, commercial structuring, and deployment and scale. AIRJ is actively engaged with customers across several industry verticals, including data centers, food and beverage, chemical manufacturing, residential development, and defense.
- Water Purchase Agreements: Through customer conversations, AIRJ continues to see strong interest in Water Purchase Agreements ("WPAs"), where customers purchase water on a volumetric basis rather than purchasing capital equipment. Under a WPA, AirJoule owns, operates, and maintains the systems, and the customer pays for the water delivered. This model, analogous to Power Purchase Agreement structures in the energy sector, has the potential to accelerate customer adoption and create recurring revenue streams. Some customers are also exploring blended approaches combining WPAs with direct system sales.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
- Strengthened the Balance Sheet: AIRJ strengthened its balance sheet through a $15 million private placement financing in April 2025 anchored by GE Vernova and institutional investors.
- Capital Contributions to Joint Venture: AirJoule Technologies contributed $17.8 million in capital to its 50/50 joint venture with GE Vernova, of which $5 million was contributed by GE Vernova through its equity investment in AirJoule Technologies.
- Cash Position Provides Operational Runway: AIRJ ended 2025 with $21.8 million in cash on the balance sheet. Following the January 2026 registered equity offering with net proceeds of $22.1 million, AIRJ's pro forma cash position was approximately $44 million. AirJoule Technologies has sufficient cash to fund its operations, the operations of its joint venture with GE Vernova, and planned commercial deployments through 2027.
2026 Outlook
AIRJ expects 2026 to be a transformational year as it transitions from development to commercial deployment. Key priorities include:
- Product Launches: The Core system is expected to be the first commercial product, with launch anticipated in late 2026 following completion of third party certifications. The Prime system is under development and, once operational, will serve as a showcase for industrial-scale water generation customers.
- Customer Deployments: AIRJ expects deployments at a European data center through its participation in the Net Zero Innovation Hub's technology acceleration program. Additional deployments are expected in the Middle East through TenX Investment, as well as deployments with strategic customers in the manufacturing and residential development sectors.
