Municipalities worldwide are under growing pressure to secure reliable water supplies while meeting increasingly stringent environmental, social, and governance (ESG) requirements and international climate commitments, including COP30 and related UN Sustainable Development Goals. At the same time, communities face worsening droughts, saltwater intrusion, contaminated wells and boreholes, aging infrastructure, and rising public opposition to environmentally harmful water projects.

Conventional solutions are no longer sufficient.
Aqua Fission offers a fundamentally different approach: closed-loop, Zero Liquid Discharge water infrastructure that delivers clean water without transferring environmental risk to future generations.

Traditional desalination and treatment are failing municipalities
Reverse osmosis and similar membrane-based technologies have become the default response to water scarcity, yet they introduce serious financial, environmental, and regulatory challenges:

• High energy consumption, driving up operating costs and carbon intensity
• Ongoing reliance on consumables, membranes, and chemical treatment
• Generation of toxic brine and Reverse Osmosis Concentrate (ROC) that must be discharged to oceans, rivers, deep wells, or evaporation ponds
• Growing regulatory restrictions, community opposition, and long-term environmental liabilities

As ESG scrutiny intensifies and discharge regulations tighten, these systems increasingly conflict with COP-aligned climate, biodiversity, and water stewardship goals.

Desalination aligned with ESG and COP30 objectives
Aqua Fission enables desalination of seawater and brackish sources without producing toxic brine or ROC. Its true Zero Liquid Discharge process eliminates wastewater outfalls entirely, allowing municipalities to expand water supply while protecting marine ecosystems, groundwater, and surrounding communities. This alignment with ESG principles simplifies permitting and future-proofs projects against tightening regulations.

Rehabilitating contaminated wells and boreholes
Across many regions, groundwater sources have been rendered unusable by salinity, hydrocarbons, PFAS, heavy metals, agricultural runoff, and industrial pollution. Aqua Fission allows municipalities to remediate these impaired wells and boreholes, recovering clean water and restoring stranded local assets rather than abandoning them or importing costly external supply.

Converting polluted and non-traditional sources into supply
Aqua Fission can treat wastewater effluent, industrial discharge, oil-impacted water, landfill leachate, and other polluted or high-TDS sources. By transforming contaminated water into usable supply, municipalities can increase capacity without increasing freshwater extraction or ecological stress.

True Zero Liquid Discharge for regulatory certainty
By eliminating liquid waste streams entirely, Aqua Fission removes one of the most contentious aspects of municipal water projects. No brine discharge. No ROC disposal. No long-term environmental liability. This provides municipalities with regulatory certainty in an era of escalating ESG enforcement and public scrutiny.

Lower lifecycle cost and carbon footprint
Aqua Fission operates at ultra-low energy levels and does not depend on membranes or chemical-intensive pretreatment. This dramatically reduces operating expenses, stabilizes long-term water costs, and lowers lifecycle emissions — directly supporting net-zero and climate resilience targets.

Resilient, modular, and rapidly deployable infrastructure
Aqua Fission’s modular architecture allows municipalities to deploy capacity incrementally, aligning with budget cycles, population growth, and emergency needs. Systems can be deployed centrally or in decentralized configurations to enhance resilience during droughts, infrastructure failures, or climate-driven disruptions.

Community trust and ESG leadership
By eliminating environmental discharge and reducing competition with ecosystems and neighboring communities, Aqua Fission helps municipalities demonstrate responsible water stewardship. Projects can be structured as public-private partnerships, enabling rapid deployment while maintaining public oversight and ESG transparency.

Result
Aqua Fission enables municipalities to move beyond high-cost, high-risk legacy technologies and toward water infrastructure that is environmentally compliant, economically sustainable, and aligned with COP30, ESG, and long-term climate resilience goals.
