Why Biomass? Why Prevention?

"No dry fuel, no destructive fire."

Traditional systems wait until a wildfire breaks out and smoke appears. PYROS shifts the paradigm: identifying and ranking dry biomass weeks before a spark ignites.

Traditional Reactive Model

Detection After Ignition

  • Responds only after flames have already consumed acres of forest.
  • Extremely high costs of firefighting aircraft, crews, and property damage.
  • Puts human lives at risk and causes irreversible ecosystem destruction.
PYROS Proactive Paradigm

High-Risk Fuel Prediction

  • Real-time satellite moisture mapping of vegetation (NDMI).
  • Targeted & autonomous dry fuel removal long before ignition happens.
  • Every 1 € invested in prevention saves 4 to 7 € in direct fire damages.

Live Interactive Demo

Live Vegetation Moisture & Fuel Map

Real-time satellite data integration using Sentinel-2 imagery combined with ground-level IoT sensors.

Note: The displayed map is an interactive simulation. The official live production version will be available soon.

Calculated Zone Risk

HIGH RISK (Level 4)

System Architecture

4 Pillars of PYROS Technology

Combining space-based Earth observation, ground IoT sensor arrays, and machine learning models for early risk detection.

Satellite Intelligence

We track vegetation moisture every 5 days via Sentinel-2 satellite imagery (Normalized Difference Moisture Index - NDMI).

IoT Ground Sensors

Deployable ground sensors measure soil moisture, micro-climate humidity, air temperature, and wind speed locally.

AI Prediction

Machine learning models identify high-risk zones before ignition and automatically prioritize fuel management teams.

Cost-Effective Prevention

Every 1 € invested in prevention saves 4–7 € in fire damages, emergency response, and post-fire remediation.
