Problem
Wildfires and fires in agricultural or storage settings cause significant environmental and financial damage when detected too late. Traditional monitoring methods often lack the speed and precision needed to alert authorities and brigades in time, leading to larger losses in forests, crops, and infrastructure.
Solution
Carbon Exchange offers a worldwide pioneering precision sensor network, camouflaged within vegetation, to preserve public and private forests. The system combines hardware sensors with software to transmit data minute-by-minute, using AI to cross-reference data from over 10 national research institutes and satellites from NASA and Copernicus for risk monitoring. The platform provides a simple, one-click interface that alerts authorities and brigades via WhatsApp about fire outbreaks, ensuring a rapid and auditable response. Complementing detection, the company offers "fireballs" containing inert powder and training for response teams, along with tools to monitor temperature in soil, crops, and flammable materials.
Target Audience
The primary customers are rural landowners, agricultural businesses, and forest managers in the public and private sectors seeking to protect crops, forests, and assets from fire damage.
