Turn on the faucet, and water flows. What if we could make this everyday reality a reality anywhere, without relying on the existing water supply network?
ENELL Co., Ltd. is a decentralized, off-grid water infrastructure company that is redesigning the very nature of water infrastructure under the concept of “WATER OS (Water Operating System).” Its initiatives have been introduced to the world through the Japanese government’s official website.
The company utilizes local water resources—including rainwater, river water, well water, groundwater, pool water, and even water vapor in the atmosphere—to transform them into safe water on-site, store it, and supply it. Rather than providing a single water source or purification technology, this unique approach establishes a single integrated infrastructure that spans the entire process from water acquisition to distribution.
In response to the structural challenges facing global water infrastructure—such as aging water pipes, the ongoing lack of access to safe water in various parts of the world, the risk of attacks on centralized water infrastructure during conflicts, and the rapid increase in water demand driven by the expansion of generative AI and data centers—ENELL presents a new alternative: a shift “from centralized to decentralized.”
Currently, we are participating in the design phase from the very beginning of one of the world’s largest lodging facility projects—operated solely on renewable energy in an area lacking existing water infrastructure—and are advancing the design of a water infrastructure system that relies exclusively on ENELL’s technology to ensure the facility’s entire water supply.
Featured on NHK WORLD-JAPAN’s “BIZ STREAM” and broadcast to approximately 160 countries and regions worldwide, we have seen a surge in inquiries from overseas and proposals for business partnerships. We are currently expanding our business operations in multiple countries through country-specific licensing agreements.
ENELL’s goal is not to compete within the existing water purification market. Rather, it is to pioneer the field of “off-grid water infrastructure”—an area within water purification that has not yet been fully established—and to set the global standard for it.
From a “society that transports water from afar” to a “society that secures water where it is needed.”
Shifting water infrastructure from a centralized to a decentralized model.
ENELL is striving to create this new global standard, starting from Japan.
