Watergy, a system for water treatment, building climate control and food production

Watergy follows the development of a technology platform for decentralised basic supply of energy, water and food that can be used within a number of different applications.

The technological principle is actually proofed at two different prototypes that are built within a European Union funded research project (NNE5-2001-683) between April 2003 and March 2006.

In 2004, the first prototype was built for the purpose of greenhouse horticulture in Almeria/Spain. Measurements as a basis for evaluation are taken since the autumn of 2004.

A second prototype is currently being built in Berlin as a Living- or Office Building with an attached façade-greenhouse. Measurements are expected in the summer 2005.

A further field of activity is the basic research on Advanced Life Support, aimed at the habitation of remote areas like the desert and polar regions or for long term journeys in space.
