Israel-based Harbo Technologies has launched an oil-spill blocking system that is compact and light enough to be installed at any site. The T-Fence boom is 1/15th of the weight of a traditional boom, and can be deployed within minutes of spill detection. “Oil spills are not just about oil spills,” said Dr. David M. Cohen, director of the Center for Environmental Health Sciences in New York City.

As a result, it can be stored near high-risk areas to contain spills quickly before they spread, potentially preventing a major incident.
