A sustainability initiative at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2025 has set a new global benchmark in water
innovation.

Through a strategic collaboration between Ethara, the organisers of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and
Ma Hawa, the UAE-based sustainable water production company owned by Baynunah
Watergeneration Technologies, a Guinness World Record was achieved for producing the largest
volume of drinking water generated from air within 24 hours.
During race week, more than 30 Ma Hawa atmospheric water generation units were deployed
across the circuit.

Within 24 hours, the system produced:
60.75 cubic meters of drinking water from air
— equivalent to approximately one million plastic bottles saved.

This milestone was officially recognized by Guinness World Records under the title:

“Most water generated by an atmospheric water generation plant in 24 hours.”

Beyond the record itself, the broader impact of the initiative demonstrates the true scale of
sustainable innovation in action.

Over five days:

• Up to 300,000 liters of drinking water were generated from air
• 339,000 attendees were served
• More than 1 million single-use plastic bottles were avoided
• Over 80 tonnes of CO₂ emissions were reduced

This initiative represents a fundamental shift in how water can be produced and delivered at largescale events.
By generating water directly from air — without reliance on traditional water networks — the need
for logistics, transportation, and plastic dependency is significantly reduced.

More importantly, it proves that sustainable solutions are not limited to concept or pilot phases.
They can operate at scale, under real conditions, and deliver measurable environmental impact.

This achievement reflects the UAE’s leadership in innovation and sustainability — and reinforces Ma
Hawa’s commitment to redefining water production through advanced atmospheric technology.
