The technology uses Drone to plant trees, which can grow 100,000 trees in just 1 day
This new technology is expected to help green bare hills by a Drone that can grow up to 100,000 trees in a day.
Drones - Remote control flying devices are often used as a technological toy but are still not widely applied to life even though their potential is extremely large. However, the UK-based Startup BioCarbon Engineering has astonished many people by using Drone as a planting device, which can help grow more than 100,000 plants per day.
According to a statistics of the World Economic Forum, people have cut down to 15 billion trees but only planted 9 billion trees. This makes the number of trees decrease, affecting the environment as well as the natural ecosystem. In order to limit the harms caused by humans, BioCarbon Engineering startup has launched a solution to help people survey and re-plant trees on bare lands quickly. Even planting trees in places where people can hardly come in easily.
In the plan developed by BioCarbon Engineering, this startup will use a set of 6 Drones, connected to GPS devices, capable of surveying and redrawing a map of any region. After the survey is complete, the Drones will return, bring seeds and . "shoot" them down to the appropriate positions.
Each Drone can carry 300 seeds, placed in specially designed, biodegradable small boxes that will help protect the seeds so that they grow into greenery in the most convenient way.
It is known that each Drone can grow up to 300 seeds in 18 minutes. Drone's crop yields are calculated to be 10 times larger than when humans manually plant trees. In addition, the cost of using Drones will also save up to 85% compared to hiring workers to plant trees in the traditional way.
Another noteworthy point is that with the ability to survey and draw topographic maps of areas that need to be planted in advance, the Drones will be able to calculate and select suitable trees at the point of seed firing at the ground, thereby helping to diversify vegetation after planting.
Currently, Startup is being tested in Myanmar to restore some mangrove forests. Initially experimental, the Drones succeeded in firing seeds through the saltwater areas.
Under the plan, BioCarbon Engineering hopes to be able to deploy up to 150 Drones groups (about 900 Drones) to plant 500 billion new trees for humankind within the next three decades.
