Fleet’s space-based mapping platform, ExoSphere, will likely be utilized by Koloma, which has raised US$400 million in enterprise funding, to generate real-time 3D subsurface imaging of potential hydrogen-forming geological formations.
Whereas many tech firms have centered on hydrogen manufacturing, Koloma believes pure hydrogen is a viable supply of renewable vitality, having already recognized vital hydrogen reserves in america.
ExoSphere, which is used to find potential exploration websites for vital minerals, combines the startup’s personal satellites in low earth orbit with sensible sensors and synthetic intelligence evaluation to generate exploration datasets in simply days. ExoSphere’s 3D subsurface imaging capabilities enhance the focusing on of exploratory drilling.
Fleet now operates within the US, Canada, Chile, and Luxembourg with 130+ staff globally. ExoSphere is utilized by greater than 40 minerals exploration firms throughout 5 continents.
In December the Adelaide-based startup raised $150 million in Collection D at an $800 million valuation in December.

The startup’s traders embrace Canada’s Lecturers’ Enterprise Progress, the VC arm of Ontario Lecturers’ Pension Plan, Blackbird, Hostplus, Horizons Ventures, Grok, the household fund of Atlassian cofounder Mike Cannon-Brookes and TelstraSuper.
“Fleet House becoming a member of forces with Koloma represents the sort of trade partnerships wanted to handle the pressing demand for clear vitality alternate options,” she stated.
“With the most recent advances in hyper-scalable, data-driven, end-to-end exploration applied sciences powered by house and AI, leaders working to construct the muse for Earth’s vitality transition may have the next-gen instruments to speed up their path to discovery, whereas minimising environmental influence.”
Koloma chief know-how officer, Dr Tom Darrah, known as the collaboration “a robust new chapter for Earth’s clear vitality future” and hydrogen’s improvement as a scalable and sustainable vitality supply.
“Koloma’s data-driven experience in geologic hydrogen plus the real-time 3D imaging of Fleet House’s ExoSphere platform will improve the dimensions and pace of our exploration applications, whereas additionally furthering our dedication to environmental preservation,” he stated.
