Based in Uppsala, Sweden, their innovative approach focuses on maximizing energy efficiency while maintaining optimal environmental conditions, irrespective of the climate.
BCSA Model
We invested in Airwatergreen based on a strong BCSA profile. The company delivers a highly energy-efficient and versatile solution to industrial dehumidification and air treatment - addressing a large, underserved market with outdated technologies. With proven performance across multiple use cases and clear levers for scaling and cost reduction, Airwatergreen is positioned to become a new standard in capital- and energy-efficient climate control.
Airwatergreen offers a patented liquid desiccant and CVP (Controlled Vapor Pressure) technology that enables 30–70% lower energy consumption compared to conventional dehumidification systems. Unlike sorption and cold condensation technologies, AWG’s products can operate efficiently at both low and high temperatures, making them ideal for diverse industrial settings. This allows customers to achieve better climate control, reduce emissions, and preserve product and infrastructure quality more effectively.
Although not always the lowest-cost option on purchase price, Airwatergreen’s products offer superior life-cycle economics. Lower installation and maintenance costs, combined with significant energy savings, result in a 1–3 year ROI for most customers.
The FLEX, REX, and NEXT models are plug-and-play systems requiring minimal setup - no ventilation ducts or special service staff. The use of standard components simplifies maintenance, and remote monitoring and data tracking are enabled via the cloud-based AWG Climate Control System. This ensures faster deployment, less operational hassle, and easier serviceability across installations.
Airwatergreen has sold 800+ units across eight European countries and is actively scaling production with outsourced manufacturing partners. The company is preparing for broader market access, particularly for the NEXT and upcoming NEXT-S models, which target both dehumidification and general air treatment markets. Focused efforts are underway to ensure inventory availability and improved delivery timelines for scale.
