Through the collaboration, Kubota will evaluate the AirJoule atmospheric water generation technology as a key component of a decentralized water circulation infrastructure that can produce, treat and reuse water within local communities, particularly for residential developments in regions of the U.S. facing water scarcity or water quality constraints. Pursuant to the exclusive sales agreement, Kubota will market, sell, and distribute AirJoule systems for multi-unit residential developments in the initial territories of Texas and California. The parties may consider broader commercial collaboration based on the results of the initial deployments, customer needs, and the feasibility of integrating AirJoule systems with Kubota’s wastewater reclamation equipment and digital infrastructure capabilities. Kubota has purchased two AirJoule Core systems for initial deployments at sites near Corpus Christi, Texas and Irvine, California. Both deployments are expected to begin in Q3 2026 and will pair AirJoule atmospheric water generation technology with Kubota’s water infrastructure expertise, including wastewater treatment, water reclamation, pipe systems and operation and maintenance capabilities. The deployments will also generate operational data to validate AirJoule’s performance across a range of environmental conditions relevant to residential water supply, helping to accelerate commercial adoption. The partnership positions both AIRJ and Kubota at the forefront of addressing one of the most pressing challenges facing residential developers today: securing reliable water resources in areas where traditional infrastructure is either cost-prohibitive or unavailable. AirJoule’s industry-leading operational window and energy utilization profile are designed to support residential developments across the U.S. Southwest, from the Gulf Coast to the California hills, where water scarcity has reached record levels. Management Commentary "This partnership with Kubota represents an important milestone as we commercialize AirJoule," said Matt Jore, Chief Executive Officer of AirJoule Technologies. "Kubota is a globally recognized leader in water and environmental infrastructure with strong experience supporting residential developments in water-constrained areas. By partnering with Kubota on the initial deployments in Texas and California and for residential development sales, we are well-positioned to capture significant market share while solving a critical societal challenge: providing clean, reliable water to communities that need it most." "The feedback we've received from residential developers has been clear: there is urgent, substantial demand for solutions that can provide reliable water without the constraints of traditional infrastructure," said Wataru Kondo, Director, Senior Managing Executive Officer, and General Manager of Water and Environment Infrastructure Consolidated Company at Kubota Corporation. "The AirJoule technology, combined with our water reclamation systems and smart infrastructure platform, positions us to deliver a complete, integrated solution that transforms how communities access and manage water. We see significant near-term demand from our developer network and expect this partnership to serve as a platform for broader deployment across the United States.” Addressing Critical Infrastructure Challenges and Regulatory Drivers The collaboration between AirJoule Technologies and Kubota targets several key challenges identified by residential developers operating in water-constrained markets: Regulatory Compliance: In some western states, such as California, developers planning residential communities of a certain size must demonstrate 20-year water resource security to obtain permits—a requirement that has significantly constrained new development.
