Autonomous Marine Microplastics Collection Robot
X-CORAL is a pioneering marine technology initiative developing autonomous ocean vessels that convert surface microplastics and marine waste into a regenerative substance known as bio-coral.
Built on the theory that seawater already contains the essential minerals to create self-forming crystal structures, X-CORAL uses a multi-stage electrochemical process to grow insoluble, salt-based formations that encapsulate microplastics and pollutants. As these crystals settle to the sea floor, they help to rebuild degraded marine habitats and form a substrate where new coral and microorganisms can thrive.
Rebuilding the ocean, one molecule at a time.
Engineering Regeneration at Sea
Currently in the concept and research stage, X-CORAL is assembling a world-class scientific team including marine biologists, chemical engineers, environmental scientists, and oceanographers to validate the process and produce the first working prototype.
The next phase includes patent development, lab-based proof of concept, and early-stage field testing, followed by a capital raise for large-scale deployment.
By combining marine science, materials engineering, and autonomous technology, X-CORAL aims to tackle one of the planet’s most urgent environmental challenges — transforming ocean pollution into the foundation of new life.
