“The beautiful thing about the Cleantech summit is that it unites investors and entrepreneurs together around a common goal: fighting climate change”, said Zack Storms, Founder and Chief-Organizer of Startup TNT. “And, importantly, it brings together an investment syndicate that can offer more than cash to achieve that goal. We are delighted to invest in EMS and look forward to supporting them along their growth journey as they revolutionize and modernize soil remediation practices across the globe.”  

Why is there a need to relook at existing soil remediation practices? 

An industry that is estimated to be worth $170 Billion has seen limited innovation resulting in current practices being timely, costly, and ironically leaving a significant carbon footprint. In addition, most practices perform assessments at static points in time limiting the ability to have real-time visibility on the status of the contaminated soil. 

What EMS technology endeavors to do?  

Embracing a suite of 3 inter-related technologies and the power of data analytics, EMS can  evaluate the status of customer sites 24/7, 365 days year. This unparallel level of analysis will facilitate the optimization of the soil clean up strategy and empower decision makers to make timely data backed decisions. This approach to soil remediation will significantly save time, money, reduce the remediation carbon footprint by 99% and enable best in-class ESG reporting.
