Description of the Company

 

374Water Inc. (the “Company”, “374Water”, “We”, or “Our”) is a global industrial technology and services company providing innovative solutions addressing global organic waste destruction/treatment and waste management issues within the Municipal, Federal, and Industrial markets.  374Water offers our proprietary AirSCWO system, which is designed to efficiently destroy and mineralize a broad spectrum of non-hazardous and hazardous organic wastes producing safe dischargeable water streams, safe mineral effluent, safe vent gas, and recoverable heat energy.  Importantly, our AirSCWO system eliminates recalcitrant organic wastes without creating waste byproducts. Our AirSCWO system effectively converts solid and liquid wastes such as sewage sludge, biosolids, food waste, hazardous and non-hazardous waste, and forever chemicals (e.g., “per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances” or “PFAS”) into recoverable resources including water, minerals, and heat energy, by focusing on waste as a valuable resource.

 

In fiscal year 2024, 374Water outlined a new strategic plan and tactical roadmap. Throughout the year, we executed our plan reaching critical milestones which we believe position the Company’s business outlook well for fiscal year 2025. 2024 achievements include (i) ruggedizing and optimizing our AirSCWO system to effectively and continuously process a variety of organic waste streams; (ii) deploying our first commercial scale AirSCWO system to the City of Orlando’s Iron Bridge Water Reclamation Facility; (iii) completing various federal and industrial waste destruction demonstrations; (iv) growing our backlog and pipeline in the municipal, federal and industrial markets; (v) relocating our laboratory facility to a significantly larger state-of-the-art Biosafety Level 1 Laboratory to meet increasing lab-scale waste destruction demand and expedite the advancement of our AirSCWO technology; (vi) relocating our manufacturing operations; and strengthening our leadership team and organization.

 

374Water has a robust plan to scale revenue, operations, and capitalize our business. During 2025, we expected to complete our commercial-scale demonstration under our contract with the City of Orlando; mobilize an AS system to Detroit, MI in partnership with the Defense Innovation Unit to demonstrate AirSCWO’s waste destruction effectiveness for specific U.S. Department of Defense applications; deploy an AirSCWO system to the Orange County Sanitation District (“OC San”) in Fountain Valley, CA; mobilize an AirSCWO system to St. Cloud, MN, as part of a Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR) initiative to demonstrate its effectiveness destroying Minnesota waste; further scale our manufacturing capacity to meet client demand for AirSCWO systems of various sizes; continue to improve our AirSCWO technology; and begin accepting third party waste streams for our initial Waste Destruction Services (“WDS”) hub(s) at partner Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities (“TSDF”).
