From PFAS to atmospheric water: industry shifts in January 2025

January 2025 brought significant changes to the water industry. From extreme weather events affecting Cork, Australia, and LA, to the EPA's withdrawal of proposed PFAS limits following the new Trump administration. Bluetech will host a press briefing on the implications of these PFAS regulatory changes, particularly for biosolids management.New research reportsBluetech's latest research covers critical water sector challenges: stormwater management with digital and nature-based solutions, innovations in water conveyance addressing aging infrastructure, and advances in water treatment materials. The team has also analyzed emerging contaminants beyond PFAS, forecasting future regulatory trends.Atmospheric Water Generation: a market in transitionThe atmospheric water generation (AWG) market has evolved beyond its niche origins, now exceeding $100 million in revenue with projected growth to $800 million by 2030. New industrial applications are emerging, from carbon capture dehumidification to heat recovery from industrial airstreams. The sector has seen rapid growth in both technological advancement and market participants, suggesting an approaching market maturation.Upcoming eventsPFAS Press Briefing with Dr Paul O'Callaghan, Jacob Steele, Dr Ali Ling, and Dr Glen Daigger on February 11th: register here.Join Bluetech's web briefing on Atmospheric Water Generation on March 6th, featuring Dr. Kim Wu and industry expert Roland Walgren.
