Space technologies drive innovation in the energy sector – supporting greener production, better monitoring, and more efficient operations
How Space Technologies Power the Future of Energy
Space is playing an increasingly important role in the global shift towards green energy. Space-based data plays a vital role in the transition – supporting the EU Green Deal’s goal of becoming the world’s first climate-neutral region by 2050. Earth observations (EO) and satellite-based positioning systems help energy companies optimize infrastructure, improve production forecasting and operate more sustainably. Earth observations and satellite-based positioning systems, such as GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems), help energy companies optimize infrastructure, improve production forecasting and operate more sustainably. Satellites also measure key climate variables, including greenhouse gas emissions – which enables the tracking of environmental impacts. With the data from space, the energy sector can plan smarter, reduce emissions, and accelerate the transition towards a greener, more sustainable system.
Satellites deliver precise weather and wind data, helping energy providers forecast output from wind turbines more accurately.
Climate and weather data from space give better forecasts, helping companies trade energy smarter.
Satellite imagery detects faults and performance issues in solar panels, enabling faster maintenance and more efficient energy production.
Half of all essential climate variables are measured by satellites - including carbon dioxide and methane.
Remote sensing technology monitors ocean conditions and infrastructure, helping to improve safety and efficiency for offshore wind, oil and gas platforms.
