We are currently  Coral Sol, a €10 M joint R&D programme with Petrobras that is building the first diver‑less, autonomous sub‑sea thermal‑neutralisation system for the invasive sun‑coral (Tubastraea sp.).
Over a 36‑month schedule the project will take the technology from TRL‑4 to TRL‑7 —delivering a remotely AI-based tracking & ignited underwater torch capable of applying controlled heat to eradicate colonies while capturing geo‑referenced data for ecological monitoring .
Two cooperation agreements with Petrobras, each worth more than €5 M, secure full funding and offshore test beds; the diver‑less approach eliminates human exposure, cuts maintenance costs and sets a new benchmark for marine‑biodiversity protection.
