SOLAR FLEET 2: A Cold Strategy for Saving the Baltic Sea

The Baltic Sea is one of the most polluted seas in the world. Its enclosed structure, limited water exchange, and decades of industrial waste, agricultural runoff, and military dumping have turned its seabed into a critically toxic zone covering over 600,000 km². In the deeper layers of water, hydrogen sulfide, phosphorus, and remnants of chemical weapons accumulate, while oxygen-depleted zones are expanding every year. Fish are fleeing or dying, and the seafloor no longer sustains life. There is little time left to act.

Solar Fleet 2 is an innovative environmental system that uses solar energy, ocean currents, and natural laws to restore the Baltic ecosystem without massive industrial intervention. Its mission is to reduce the toxicity of the seabed, halt the spread of pollution, and give nature a chance to heal itself.

Core Concept: Cold Water as a Tool for Life

Solar Fleet 2 operates by delivering cooled, oxygen-enriched surface water into anoxic bottom currents, where toxin accumulation and chemical munitions pose the greatest risk.

This process creates a natural barrier that:

Prevents vertical movement of toxic substances

Slows the decomposition of sunken munitions and chemical agents

Inhibits the spread of hydrogen sulfide

Creates safer conditions for marine life to return

At the same time, increased oxygen levels and cooling reduce harmful bacterial activity and stimulate the growth of aerobic organisms that support natural cleaning processes.

How a Single Platform Works

A pilot Solar Fleet 2 platform is an autonomous unit covering several dozen square meters, composed of:

Solar panels (covering approximately 1 hectare) that power cooling modules, control systems, and disinfection units

Heat exchangers that cool surface water

Pipelines that deliver cooled water by gravity to bottom currents, using natural temperature and density gradients

UV disinfection chambers that treat water before descent

Water quality sensors at intake and outflow points. Real-time feedback systems that transmit data to researchers and operators

Priority Zones for Deployment

Platforms are installed in areas with strong bottom currents, where natural flow distributes cooled water efficiently without the need for pumps. Priority areas include:

1. Chemical weapons dumping grounds (e.g., southern Baltic Sea) to create protective isolation layers

2. Anoxic "dead zones" where restoring oxygen levels can trigger the return of marine life

3. Recreational and fishing regions where water quality improvements have immediate social and economic benefits

Why We Need the First Prototype

To test the concept in real-world conditions

To give the Baltic Sea a realistic path to recovery

To unite environmentalists, engineers, institutions, and governments around an actionable solution

To stop losing decades in theoretical debates

Call to Action

We are seeking partners to help build the first prototype, which will serve as the foundation for scalable deployment across the Baltic Sea. The project welcomes the support of:

Investors for seed funding and development

Environmental institutions to validate ecological impact

Universities and researchers to monitor, analyze, and improve the system

NGOs and governments to raise awareness and assist with implementation.
