New techniques to control forest fires

ICL Innovation seeks new technologies to combat forest fires.

Possible Approaches:

All approaches would be considered as long as they are economically viable and can be applied in actual forest fire conditions

Key Success Criteria:

• Efficacy: ability to effectively extinguish a forest fire
• Performance improvement relative to existing methods
• Economic viability

Background:

Runaway forest fires cause loss of billions of dollars, loss of life and damage to the environment. Runaway fires progress through tree-tops and use of conventional firefighting techniques is ineffective.

Preferred Collaboration Type(s):

• Funded research
• Exclusive IP Licensing
• Joint Development
