The company is tapping into a renewable source\u2014the sky\u2014to supply drinking water to residential communities and commercial properties in Asia<\/p>\n

\"\"
“Hospital beds globally are filled with people with waterborne illnesses.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Globally, more than two billion people lack access to safe drinking water at home. Even in major cities throughout Asia, tap water is often not safe to consume\u2014and so people turn to bottled water instead. Half a trillion single-use plastic bottles are sold each year around the world.<\/p>\n

SOURCE Global, a US-based company, is working to address these challenges with a unique technology that produces clean drinking water from sunlight and air.<\/p>\n

This renewable, decentralised form of high-quality drinking water leapfrogs infrastructure, allowing people to make clean water wherever they are, without the need to haul it long distances through pipes or in plastic bottles.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s customers range from individual households to corporate offices and factories, and then more rural, isolated, government-sponsored projects where the primary hurdle is lack of access to a centralised source.<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout our core markets in Asia, people typically have water they can use for toilets, showers and irrigation, but then they buy higher-quality packaged drinking water,\u201d says Robert Bartrop, SOURCE\u2019s chief revenue officer who leads the company\u2019s global business development activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur residential systems are replacing that drinking water component in a dramatically more cost-effective, sustainable and resilient way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bartrop previously spent a decade working for First Solar, a US-based photovoltaics (PV) developer, and recalls having similar discussions then with companies that wanted to move away from coal and gas to renewable sources to generate power in a more sustainable and accessible way.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m taking what I learned working on renewable energy and applying it to renewable water, which in my view is an even bigger problem with a less developed set of solutions,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Throughout our core markets in Asia, people buy higher-quality packaged drinking water. Our residential systems are replacing that component in a dramatically more cost-effective, sustainable and resilient way<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThe future is very large. The future is scale: the ability to go from being one-tenth the cost of bottled water to one-hundredth. Like all great problems, there will need to be a set of technologies and an arsenal of different approaches to create a holistic solution. We have a very important role to play in that.\u201d<\/p>\n

How does SOURCE\u2019s technology work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are two core concepts. One is material science. We\u2019ve developed an advanced material that\u2019s effective at absorbing water from air. Then we use solar thermal energy\u2014heat from the sun\u2014to condense the water. That\u2019s a very efficient process that requires no electricity. This mix of material science and solar thermal energy technology enables us to make water in a renewable way anywhere on the planet.<\/p>\n

How much water does it produce?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It depends. We can have one or two panels in a residential installation or a whole field of panels for a community. At my house, I have two panels, which I would say is fairly typical for a residential installation. That provides about 300 litres per month, which is the equivalent of a 20-pack of bottled water per day. That\u2019s typically in line with standard household drinking water consumption.<\/p>\n

How many people can larger-scale projects serve?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s completely scalable. Last year we installed at more than 1,000 homes in Australia through the Aboriginal Housing Office, which covers a vast geographic region. We\u2019ve done similar-scale projects in the US with the Navajo Nation, an indigenous population. Tens of thousands of people consuming water is a regular-sized project for us. People don\u2019t have to be living in one building. They can be dispersed in villages, on islands, or farms.<\/p>\n

How much physical size do these projects require?<\/strong><\/p>\n

On an acre of land, we can make about two million litres of water per year. And that is going to be enough drinking water for 5,000-plus people. That can help unlock the usefulness of other existing bodies of water for toilets, showers, irrigation, and things like that\u2014which is helpful for non-drinking purposes. We deal with drinking water stress.<\/p>\n

Does the technology work everywhere?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I live in Arizona, where it\u2019s about 10 percent humidity and we get really good performance. We are well proven over a wide range of climates. We work in freezing conditions, but the water is harder to pump and store. So we avoid places that have deep freezes throughout winter, like Scandinavia and those types of places. We focus close to the equator. The majority of the world\u2019s water problems are in high-temperature locations.<\/p>\n

What are some examples of how this technology is changing people\u2019s lives?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are huge health issues with water. Hospital beds globally are filled with people with waterborne illnesses. But I think maybe a less discussed outcome is the number of hours spent by women and girls fetching water. When you look at basic development statistics like education, income, and life expectancy, we see a much bigger gap in rural, remote populations versus what we see in cities. A lot of that comes from their lifestyles, where water is the most important thing they need to secure every day, versus being able to stay in school or go to work. And so less than the absolute cost, the opportunity cost of those women and children in remote communities, I think, is the greatest value creation we bring.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s customers range from urban dwellers to people in more rural, isolated places in the developing world<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What are some challenges in scaling the business?<\/strong><\/p>\n

One challenge is that the water industry has less familiarity with innovation relative to energy or telecommunications. With water, it\u2019s very much a Roman-era mentality where you have to get it from a pipeline. That\u2019s one of the reasons water is low-cost and safe in big cities, and then not available in smaller villages, farms, and places like that. I think the ecosystem of regulators and governments haven\u2019t considered the sky\u2014the abundant reservoir of drinking water in the sky\u2014as a place where you can harness drinking water locally.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re spending time with various levels of government to help them update their regulations to contemplate a decentralised, non-traditional drinking water solution, which is not being met with resistance but is not an area where there has been a lot of innovation in the past. That increases the timelines involved in larger government projects.<\/p>\n

What is the company\u2019s split between its urban and rural business?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our private sector is predominantly urban. We do a lot of work in hospitality, real estate, and then some more remote urban places, like big mining companies, islands, and things like that. Our government work is predominantly rural\u2014so you look at water challenges in the developing world. These are decentralised locations that don\u2019t have centralised water infrastructure: islands, villages, and farms\u2014places that are difficult to access from a construction standpoint.<\/p>\n

What impact is climate change having on the water issue?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s huge. I\u2019d say it\u2019s an existential impact. Water access is traditionally about pipes. If you have a pipe, you have water. If you don\u2019t, you don\u2019t. What we\u2019re saying now is even places that have pipes may not have water, because pipes are only as good as the amount of water flowing through them. We\u2019re seeing in major cities\u2014the most recent being Chennai, before that Cape Town\u2014an existential issue where they are running out of water. Aquifers are being sucked dry. It\u2019s also an issue in the southwest of the US. And in places like Timor-Leste, the dry season is increasing. Islands might depopulate for some time until the rain comes. It\u2019s an enormous challenge\u2014not just an infrastructure challenge but also a resource challenge.<\/p>\n

Do you have a sense of how many panels you\u2019ve installed globally?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the last four years, we\u2019ve gone from dozens of projects to hundreds of projects and now literally thousands of projects every year. Some projects are residential homes. Some are thousands of panels in a field. There\u2019s a mix between those two markets. Hundreds of thousands of people are drinking our water every day, which is great. But hundreds of millions need it. We\u2019re still in the early stages of the type of impact we\u2019re looking to make.<\/p>\n
