374Water (NASDAQ: SCWO) announced its participation in a Department of Defense (DoD) Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) project to demonstrate PFAS destruction capabilities. The company will deploy its AirSCWO technology at Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs to treat PFAS-contaminated waste streams.

The project, in collaboration with Colorado School of Mines, will focus on treating concentrated PFAS liquid waste from the SAFF® system following soil washing. 374Water's previous waste destruction projects have shown elimination results exceeding 99.99%. The initiative aligns with DoD's mandate to transition to fluorine-free firefighting foams by October 2024 and addresses growing concerns about PFAS "forever chemicals" contamination.

Insights

374Water's DoD collaboration to demonstrate PFAS destruction capability represents a significant validation opportunity that could lead to valuable contracts.

This announcement highlights 374Water's strategic positioning in the growing PFAS remediation market through a collaboration with the Department of Defense's Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) and Colorado School of Mines. The company will be demonstrating its AirSCWO technology on PFAS-contaminated waste from Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs.

The timing is particularly significant given the regulatory tailwinds affecting this sector. The National Defense Authorization Act mandated DoD installations transition to fluorine-free firefighting foams by October 2024, creating substantial remediation requirements across military facilities. This regulatory pressure establishes a clear market need that 374Water is positioning to address.

The company claims previous destruction efficiency exceeding 99.99% in commercial and lab settings, which—if validated in this demonstration—would represent industry-leading performance. PFAS chemicals are notoriously difficult to destroy due to their strong carbon-fluorine bonds, making effective destruction technologies highly valuable.

The demonstration specifically targets concentrated PFAS liquid waste called foam fractionate from the SAFF® system, focusing on a particularly challenging waste stream. Success here would demonstrate versatility beyond simpler applications.

While this announcement doesn't guarantee future contracts, the DoD represents an enormous potential customer with widespread PFAS contamination issues across its installations. A successful demonstration could position 374Water for significant long-term service contracts and establish credibility with other governmental and industrial clients facing similar environmental challenges.

Environmental Security Technology Certification Program Evaluates Treatment Options for DoD Installations Impacted by PFAS

DURHAM, N.C., July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 374Water Inc. (NASDAQ: SCWO) (�374Water�) (the “Company�), a global leader in organic waste destruction technology and services for the municipal, federal, and industrial markets, today announced the deployment of its AirSCWO technology in a Colorado School of Mines and Department of Defense (“DoD�) Environmental Security Technology Certification Program ("ESTCP�) project aimed at comparing technology solutions to destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl (“PFAS�) contaminated wastes.

The project is a collaboration between the DoD and the Colorado School of Mines. The project’s sponsor, the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (“ESTCP�), develops and demonstrates innovative, scalable technologies that enhance military readiness, improve warfighter capabilities, and strengthen defense infrastructure. The program prioritizes common sense, cost-effective solutions that support operational effectiveness and reduce regulatory burdens at military installations.

374Water will treat a concentrated PFAS liquid waste stream known as foam fractionate, which is generated from the SAFF® (Surface-Active Foam Fractionation) system following soil washing of PFAS-impacted sediment on Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The destruction and elimination demonstration utilizes 374Water’s mobile AirSCWO system.

To date, 374Water has conducted numerous waste destruction projects on a wide variety of organic waste streams, including PFAS-contaminated feedstocks at commercial and lab scale with waste destruction and elimination results often exceeding 99.99%.

PFAS “forever chemicals� are a group of thousands of synthetic chemicals which are persistent and hazardous. PFAS are found in a wide range of municipal, federal, and industrial processes, and contaminated public and private water sources. PFAS have been shown to pose significant risks to human health and the environment. The urgency of PFAS remediation is underscored by stringent environmental regulations, such as the U.S. National Defense Authorization Act (“NDAA�), which mandated the transition to fluorine-free firefighting foams at DoD installations by October 2024. The DoD initiative, which combines methods for concentrating and destroying PFAS, both on- and off-site, highlights the growing demand for reliable and scalable PFAS destruction technologies.

“We believe this initiative will, once again, demonstrate our ability to destroy PFAS-impacted waste streams as a treatment option for DoD installations impacted by PFAS,� said Chris Gannon, CEO of 374Water. “We have completed numerous municipal, federal, and industrial waste destruction projects on a wide variety of solid and liquid waste streams and are generating demand across these markets. We believe our AirSCWO technology will be a reliable solution for the DoD’s PFAS treatment challenges and disposal and support the DoD’s efforts to advance environmental sustainability,� concluded Gannon.
