From 7,030ha to 713ha: how bp bioenergy cut burned area by 90% with artificial intelligence

The challenge before PANTERA
The satellite system detected fires hours late — by the time the alert arrived, the fire had already spread
With 11 units spread across the country, coordinating brigades was complex and response time unpredictable
The regional climate increased fire susceptibility, making manual monitoring unsustainable at the operation's scale
How PANTERA solved it
Smoke detection in seconds — before a satellite even registers the event
Data triangulation pinpoints the exact fire location, eliminating unnecessary brigade travel
With exact location data, bp strategically repositioned its fleet at tactical points — guaranteed 15-minute response
“It helped us a lot. Our response time today is only 15 minutes. An excellent result. We went from 7,030 hectares burned in 2021 to 713 hectares burned in 2022.”
