 The umbrella of climate challenges can be daunting but by focusing on specific problems, results can be realized. Michael underscored this concept by emphasizing by exploring a variety of climate problems relating to the ocean. One problem their technology could tackle is that biofouling significantly reduces the efficiency of fuel consumption on large ships and therefore increases CO2 emissions. They landed on this problem as “it was very clear from day one on who our customer was, how much value it had, and that there are numerous business cases for how this robot makes money… just starting with cleaning”.  Fleet Robotics then made it their mission to “reduce the emission of large ships, which reduces overall global emissions.”
