GAINS provides historic and near-real-time insights on the production and activity levels at hundreds of sites involved in the global iron and steel supply chain. It offers an “alternative data” source for the Financial Services industry by providing near-real-time leading indicators such as stockpiles of raw materials and levels of activity and production, based primarily on satellite observations.
FASTWIND
Status date: 11 November 2024
FASTWIND is a cloud-based technology and financial tool for the offshore wind sector. Software developer Exceedence, Simply Blue Group, a leading blue economy developer, and NORCE Norwegian Research Centre, are partnering on this project to use satellite data from ESA’s satellite network to conduct wind resource measurement and energy yield analysis.
SUPER
Status date: 11 November 2024
SUPER focuses on using Earth Observation (SatEO) and Satellite Navigation (SatNav) for Urban Air Mobility (UAM) infrastructure planning and integration into public transport, and in planning and monitoring aspects of UAM operations. Relying on SatEO (archived and near real-time) data provides diverse geospatial, environmental, weather and mapping information, and allows combining it with SatNav data from air traffic (once available).
Eyes on Plastic
Status date: 31 October 2024
Eyes on Plastic provides a service solution, which combines multiple sensor components into a joint mapping and monitoring solution for plastic in the aquatic environment. By flying high and diving deep, plastic litter can be monitored at all angles and scales. On top, the service invites everybody to actively keep the eyes open on plastic spanning local info to a global reach.
safeBACK
Status date: 31 October 2024
With safeBACK, our integrated Safety Alert and Flood Forecasting Engine, we empower local authorities and civil protection agencies to act proactively in case of flooding. By combining real-time water levels, precipitation forecasts, and Earth observation data, safeBACK provides accurate alerts and probabilistic flood forecasts for brooks and creeks. This enables authorized users to anticipate and understand flooding situations, enhancing response readiness and protecting communities before disaster strikes.
ProvGRASS_DP
Status date: 29 October 2024
ProvGrass generates multi-temporal maps of the grass platform or area of interest including sward quantity and quality to enable customers in the dairy and beef industry to provide products that positively influence sustainably productive farming through end-user (e.g., farmers or advisers) grass management This results in higher quality milk production at better margins, while adhering to increasingly stringent requirements to demonstrate improved sustainability.
EO4CarbonFarming
Status date: 29 October 2024
The project aims to develop a service for monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of agricultural measures to bind CO2 in the soil as a part of “Carbon Farming”. The tool will be able to monitor catch crops, report on farming practices for higher carbon sequestration and verify organic carbon build-up in the soil.
DITCH
Status date: 28 October 2024
The newly developed DITCH - Digital Twin Catchment service consists of an online accessible digital representation of basins providing static and dynamic variables like topography, land use and cover, hydrological and ecological conditions (water level, discharge, sediment concentrations, algal blooms) of water bodies, and soil characteristics provided through earth observation (EO) including potential dynamics next to past and present situations.
This physical twin is then also combined with socio-economic information to provide relevant decision support tools for resilient basin management of water-related stakeholders.
FB Eye
Status date: 23 October 2024
FB Eye – acronym of Fire-Bombing Eye – is a commercial initiative to improve the firefighting operations using innovative space-based and ground-based technologies.
FB Eye is an innovative platform-as-a-service commercial provision of integrated satellite/airborne Comms/Nav support to the precision water bombing of large wildfires.
FB Eye provides water bomber pilots with a near real time information map with precise geographical location of most radiating fire hotspots, being the most effective release target to extinguish rapidly the fire.
Rheticus® Forest Carbon Offset
