Khalifa University Wins Global Water Award for Innovation
Home » Green Tech » Khalifa University Wins Global Water Award for Innovation Khalifa University and Green Waste Solutions Trading DMCC have announced major achievements in tackling water scarcity. The organizations revealed innovative technologies that convert seawater and waste into clean water. Khalifa University developed a solar-powered thermal distillation system. This device produces freshwater from seawater without generating brine. It uses sunlight to generate and condense steam directly from the water's surface. This method reduces heat loss and improves energy efficiency. The device was tested with synthetic and real seawater in Abu Dhabi. It demonstrated the ability to produce 2.2 litres of freshwater per square metre per day. The technology has attracted interest from national companies, including ADNOC. It is also registered under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) in the United States. Meanwhile, Green Waste Solutions Trading DMCC, located in Dubai Multi Commodities Centre, introduced an integrated system. It converts organic waste and wastewater into usable resources. The mobile, solar-powered solution includes: Anaerobic digesters and filtration units Power generators with smart monitoring using AI and blockchain The company reported successful implementation in Egypt and Botswana. The system can produce up to 100,000 litres of clean water daily. It has supported over 20,000 people in remote communities. Its flexible design suits refugee camps and underserved areas.

Of the patents logged between January and March, one was a local innovation, signaling continued growth in domestic research and development, Jordan News Agency reported. The data also revealed 999 new trademarks were registered, while 1,608 existing trademarks were renewed during the same period. The previous year saw the renewal of 6,245 trademarks, Petra added. In addition to new registrations, the Industrial Property Protection Directorate at the Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Supply renewed 138 patents, issued five industrial property licenses, processed 310 requests for name and address changes, and approved the transfer of ownership for 499 industrial properties. In the most recent rankings from the World Intellectual Property Organization, covering 2023, Jordan was placed 58th globally for patent applications, with residents filing 21 patents, a 16 percent decrease from the previous year. Pharmaceuticals dominated technical fields, accounting for 37.8 percent of patents, followed by medical technology. Trademark filings showed stronger momentum, reaching 5,640 in 2023, with residents driving nearly 70 percent of registrations. The US, Saudi Arabia, and China were top foreign destinations for Jordanian IP filings, underscoring global commercial ties.
