INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR MITIGATING CATASTROPHIC WILDFIRES
Prescribed burns can reduce mega fire frequency and intensity by removing dry vegetation that feeds dangerous fires, but they are used sparingly because of small burn windows and potential risk. Enter the BurnBot RX1, a system that makes prescribed burning safe, clean, and automated.
BurnBot RX1 System
BurnBot, Inc was created to reduce the frequency and intensity of mega fires, which have become an increasingly large societal problem as a result of climate change. Mega fires, an increasingly common occurrence in what some scientists are referring to as “The Pyrocene Age,” threaten people and communities globally, reduce air quality dramatically, burn entire cities, and threaten the fragile ecosystems by releasing 8B tons of carbon dioxide (or 20% of all global emissions) into the atmosphere annually.
The BurnBot RX1 can conduct prescribed burns regardless of weather and fuel conditions. Regular BurnBot treatments create defensive moats around at-risk communities and infrastructure to protect them from mega fires destruction.
