Saint Petersburg, FL, October 15th, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- Energy & Water Development Corp. (OTC: EAWD) ("EAWD" or the "Company") announces its official registration of a new branch of the corporation in Hamburg, Germany.

As a country of technology and industrial production, Germany offers EAWD access to innovative and state-of-the-art water and energy technologies and know-how.  In 2011, the European Commission awarded Hamburg the title “European Green Capital”, making it the second European city after Stockholm that was permitted to use this title.

"The new location in Germany will allow the company to expand capacity for assembling, manufacturing, customer support, engineering, sales and services, and leadership functions across the entity.   The workshop in Hamburg enables EAWD to showcase its state-of-the-art solutions and products to potential and existing clients and contributes to the general understanding of the added value of using self-sufficient power supplied by water generation solutions”, Ralph Hofmeier, CEO of EAWD stated.

Demand for water generation, processes, and services remains strong around the world. Preventive hygiene remains the first individual action in the fight against the spread of the virus COVID-19. Consequently, the WASH sector (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) remains a key sector in limiting the spread of the virus into vulnerable communities and in reducing its transmission in the zones where affected people live.

In most developing nations, the rapid growth of economies and the ever-increasing populations play a vital role in the demand for water for industrial and domestic use. In developed countries, the development of the water market is just as promising as that in emerging economies. EAWD features industry-leading self-sufficient energy supply Atmosphere Water Generation systems (e-AWGs) an innovative, fully integrated and scalable water supply solution.
