Water Security
Powered by the Sea
With the oceans covering greater than 70% of earth, IMAGINE if we could harness that vast, untapped force as a scalable, investable source of fresh water.
Investment Summary
Azura seeks staged deployment capital, not R&D, for its first at-sea desalination commercial site.
Azura’s approach utilises its proven ocean energy technology transformed into a commercial at-sea desalination system to unlock a pipeline of global projects.
Visionary investors will earn returns through project cash-flows, water sales, and scalable revenue via licensing and direct asset sales
Azura’s position in the A$30B small-scale desalination market segment present a significant opportunity for the right Azura partner to accelerate commercial growth.
The Problem
the need for freshwater is outpacing supply
Building a resilient, affordable water supply is no longer optional, it is a socioeconomic imperative.
Freshwater scarcity is accelerating worldwide. For example, the Australian Productivity Commission states, “the nation must enter a desalination building boom to avoid climate-driven economic damage that could exceed $700 billion by the end of the century” (The Age, 29 December 2025).
Azura's Solution
From Waves to Water
Azura’s proven wave energy converter (WEC) can produce fresh water at sea (“at-sea desalination”) by integrating a commercial Reverse Osmosis (RO) unit into the the power generator.
Similar to a car engine that converts fuel into motion, perpetual wave energy generates the power that drives the desalination process. Multiple wave energy devices can be connected to meet the customers water demand.

(typically represents 30-50% of desal OPEX)
Investment Target
Azura seeks A$8M in staged deployment capital for its at-sea desalination site.
Growth Potential
Value Proposition – At-sea Desalination
Energy cost reduction
Energy is approximately 30-50% of desal operating costs. Wave energy is free and constant, providing more predictable long-term water costs and insulation from fuel and grid electricity price volatility.
Phased CAPEX exposure
Devices can be deployed incrementally as demand grows.
Environment
Brine is diluted and discharged offshore. Zero or near-zero carbon emissions from at-sea operations and no thermal pollution.
Cost avoidance
No additional large-scale, land-based water infrastructure is required or infrastructure expansion. At sea desalination will help reduce exposure to grid energy supply costs.
Energy independent
Operates entirely at sea, independent of coastal power grids.
Maintenance, operation and mobility
Modular system can be installed faster than traditional desalination plants, with remote monitoring and autonomous operations.
Go-to-Market Strategy
Investment will establish Azura’s flagship commercial at-sea desalination system delivering freshwater to a customer.
In addition to producing freshwater for a customer, the commercial site will serve as a sales asset, designed to:
Validate performance, cost efficiency and scalability.
Validate environmental advantages, such as at-sea brine dispersion.
De-risk future projects for customers and capital partners.
Unlock a structured pipeline of international project opportunities, as illustrated.
Why Invest
De-risked Innovation
Azura is ready to deploy a fully integrated offshore desalination system. This system will utilise a commercially proven reverse osmosis product powered by perpetual renewable ocean energy utilising a validated ocean energy technology. This combination will enable freshwater production independent of land-based energy and infrastructure constraints.
Valuation increase
The commercial site will be established as a Special Purpose Entity (SPE). The SPE valuation increases as technical and commercial risks are reduced, the customer base grows, and assets and water sales are scaled. Investors have the option of investing at the top corporate level as well.
Experienced Commercial Team & Governance
Azura’s team combines expertise across the multiple disciplines required to commercialise and deploy offshore freshwater infrastructure. Its strength lies in integrating capabilities that traditionally operated in isolation, enabling a multidisciplinary approach essential to the successful deployment of at-sea desalination infrastructure. This enables coordinated planning and execution across all critical technical, operational, and commercial functions.
