ESA: Call for proposals “Space supporting Environmental Claims"

Space supporting Environmental Claims Call for Proposals (Competitive) - Kick-start Activity. Objective Kick-Start activities explore the business opportunity and the technical viability of new applications and services that exploit one or more space assets (e.g. Satellite Communications, Satellite Navigation, Earth Observation, Human Spaceflight Technology). This call for Kick-Start activities is dedicated to the theme “Space supporting Environmental Claims” means that the call is open to companies that intend to develop space-enabled applications and services providing support and evidence to environmental claims and labelling. Proposed services must use satellite data or space-based technologies. Topics Of Relevance The following relevant topics were identified for this Kick-Start theme, along with examples of potential applications that could be proposed: Greener Value Chains Ensuring Carbon Credit Integrity Authenticating Green Finance Value of Space Satellite Earth Observation (SatEO) SatEO can measure and monitor greenhouse gas emissions at scale across complex supply chains. Real-time operational data from remote sensing - such as water usage on farms – can be an invaluable input on platforms, which track goods from origin to endpoint.SatEO provides a holistic view of vast landscapes, sometimes in near-real-time, which can support the monitoring and quantification of a variety of environmental parameters e.g., methane...
