Creation of a soil sensor array and decision support tool to minimize nitrous oxide emissions in agricultural production systems$2.0Mvalue2023start2027end

This project aims to implement a soil sensor technology and a decision support tool that can improve in real time, the input and use of nutrients in agricultural systems.

BroadAcre Soil Sensors$1.0Mvalue2025start2026end

EMS’s Crop Sense technology enables crop producers to track water, fertilizer and carbon across the broad acres of farmland that make up the world’s breadbaskets. The Crop Sense is a revolutionary soil sensor that agronomists and farmers can use where they wish, and for as long as they wish to answer the questions that keep them up at night. EMS’s decision support system links seamless with today’s farm management systems enabling producers to optimize food production while minimizing greenhouse gas emission and fertilizer runoff. In partnership with SDTC, EMS is building tomorrows soil

Sustainable Environmental Remediation$412Kvalue2025start2025end

EMS’s technology addresses the needs of the resource extraction industry by leveraging unique features of soils, to create biogenic minerals to catalyze hydrocarbon destruction. Solar powered and local water sources, allow EMS technology to provide cost-effective, carbon efficient, solutions for industry’s looking to improve their environmental performance. Each EMS technology ecosystem deployed saves 30,000 t of soil, 1,000 kt CO2-equivalents emitted and removes over 300 t of spilled hydrocarbons from the environment. EMS has partnered with SDTC, to deploy, validate and scale EMS-techno

Large Scale Polymeric Hydrocarbon Detection$160Kvalue2023start2024end

This project will develop a large scale sensor to detect hydrocarbons in soil using a novel sensing method.

Polymer-based Detection of Soil Hydrocarbons$153Kvalue2022start2023end

EMS will design and validate a polymer-based probe capable of quantifying solid-state hydrocarbons in soils.

Tracking and Remediating Solvents$149Kvalue2025start2026end

This project aims to enhance EMS technology by improving sensor reliability and adding detection capabilities for chlorinated solvents in challenging environments.

ICAP – International Co-Innovation Action Plan: Foresight (GCCP)$46.9Kvalue2024start2024end

International Co-Innovation Action Program (ICAP) project will prepare the firm for future international co-innovation work in the carbon sequestration and agricultural technology space.

Youth - Sensor Development$30.0Kvalue2021start2022end

This project will help Environmental Material Science (EMS) to evaluate if our existing soil sensors can also work for water pollution, and what modifications would be required to make this successful.
