SP4GO
Status date: 14 February 2020
SP4GO feasibility study addresses the needs of Distribution System Operators (DSO) and Transmission System Operators (TSO) using innovative solutions.
Demand/Response and e-Mobility needs will be addressed in the context of Smart-grid area, while for the infrastructure operation and maintenance (O&M) the services considered are vegetation monitoring, electric consumption estimation, impact of weather events such as lightning on energy infrastructure, and satellite backup platforms for data exchange and communication.
Alizeti
Status date: 03 April 2023
The “Alizeti” project was designed to help smallholder farmers growing high-value crops in Kenya to produce better harvests and to sell them more efficiently to the organisations who further process and sell them. Four pilot clients in the project were provided with custom-built dashboards on the agriBORA platform based on in-situ and remotely sensed data.
FOCUS
Status date: 03 April 2023
Project FOCUS seeks to prove the viability of funding the application of a new regenerative farming standard in African smallholder coffee farming through the voluntary carbon markets. The sequestration of atmospheric carbon will generate a new source of income from carbon credits, remotely monitored and verified through the application of satellite imagery and advanced data analytics.
OWASIS WDS
Status date: 23 July 2023
The service provides forecasts of essential water availability and water demand information for water managers. It contributes in creating an essential window of opportunity for end users to timely anticipate, take the right measures and minimise the impact of future events, either droughts or floods.
SEIA
Status date: 27 March 2023
With ESA’s support, DryGro has launched a pilot high-protein crop system in Kenya. By applying earth observation and terrestrial data to the growth system, DryGro’s technology mitigates many of the factors which are currently limiting agricultural productivity. We have partnered with RHEATECH, Hyper Collective, and BuildX to delivery this breakthrough in sustainable agriculture.
GeoStorage
Status date: 27 March 2023
Energy sustainability on Earth and on the Moon? Yes! GeoStorage is investigating the use of energy storage in different geologic formations, such as caverns, depleted oil and gas reservoirs, and abandoned mines for strategic and large-scale applications in national energy grids. The project is aiming to secure renewable energy base load and improve their interoperability with other energy sources.
3E Solar Data Services
Status date: 27 March 2023
3E Project Development solution provides accurate and bankable satellite-based solar irradiation data for solar power modelling: 3E Solar Irradiation Data. It is your go-to application to assess the long-term yield of future solar assets, improve the return on investment and evaluate operational plant performance.
FlexCurb CurbX
Status date: 27 March 2023
FlexCurb CurbX evaluates the technical and commercial feasibility of an app for cities to digitize curb assets and regulations more easily in cities. By using augmented reality and postprocessing with Earth Observation the app enables highly accurate and standardized curb data generation.
Astrobone
Status date: 27 March 2023
Objective of the project is to study and validate b.Bone scaffold in osteoporotic environment to improve human bone surgery. b.Bone is a synthetic bone substitute, CE marked and indicated for clinical applications in orthopaedic and traumatology surgeries. The scaffold is seeded in vitro with human bone cells in simulated microgravity and then in space (after the current activity), to simulate an osteoporotic accelerated model, and their response is analysed.
GreenUP
