New Societal Benefit Areas

GEO-VENER : Initial thoughts • No specific EO system or program dedicated to Renewable Energy (RE) exists BUT the RE domain is using EO data and systems dedicated to other domains • EO data and informations dedicated to RE exist • Lot of interesting data are available through Copernicus and GEOSS • Interest of professionnals for solutions to their questions From users of European Climatic Energy Mixes C 3 S project • • Not a lot of understanding of the potential of EO for RE Not a lot of awareness Not a lot of confidence Bankability ?

GEO Vision for Energy Objectives • Support the development of Earth observation products and services for energy management • Consider information to support end-to-end energy production systems (including planning, generation, transmission, distribution and integrated operations) • Promote collaboration between users and providers of Earth observation and information • Encourage the use of Earth observation and information for informed renewable energy policy planning in developing and developed countries BOTTOM UP and TOP-DOWN Approaches
